Lindsay Lohan Announces 'Inconceivable' New Film At Sundance
For those of you who didn't know, Lindsay Lohan is still acting, and not acting as in she appears in each of the Scary Movie films as a caricatured version of herself acting, like actually playing roles and stuff. In fact, the actress was at Sundance Film Festival earlier this week to talk all about her next role, in a film called Inconceivable.
She might still find room to do Scary Movie 6
The actress told the crowds that had gathered to hear her in Park City, Utah, that she is hoping for a "fresh start" as she continues with her comeback push with the new film, which she is starring in and co-producing. With shooting due to commence in March, the film has been described by the actress as a psychological thriller that follows the story of a woman trying to reclaim something she lost, but she wouldn't get into further specifics about it.
"I've never had the honor of coming here before ... to bring something to the table, which is starting fresh for me," Lohan said at her press conference, via the Associated Press. Normally reserved for showing films, rather than just announcing them, Lindsay and the film's co-producer and financier Randall Emmett decided to use the independent film festival for a different purpose on Monday (20 Jan.). She continued, "It's a nice change to be back among people that are in the industry that I've been in since I was a kid," adding that she found her character relatable " in a lot of ways."
Lindsay was also present at the film festival with a team of cameramen shooting for her new OWN reality programme, which looks to lift the lid on her personal life and chronicle her rehabilitation following her well-publicised battle with drug abuse over the years. Reporters at the press conference were asked to stick to questions relating to the film and her professional life, with those not adhering to the rules ejected from the press conference.

Lindsay went on to explain that she and Emmett decided on the script together, with the pair going on to say that Lindsay will have a considerable amount of control over the film when shooting does get under way. Having served as an executive producer on last year's universally-panned The Canyons, her creative role on Inconceivable will be much bigger this time around, as the actress looks to return to the movie industry in a big way.

"It's therapeutic for me to throw myself into something that really excites me and something that I love to do so much," she told reporters. "There's nothing better than having seen all of your ideas and thoughts that you've been thinking about to come to fruition and to share that with people. I think that's why I've always loved making movies so much. So it's nice to be able to have another position in the film rather than just showing up and being on the set."

With no director or further cast members signed on for the film yet, Lindsay did say that she has some ideas already up her sleeve. Telling the audience that her dream co-star would be Jessica Lange, she also said, "I even approached Juliette Lewis and was emailing some other people," with Emmett adding that they hope a director will be decided upon and announced before the end of the month.
Providing everything goes as scheduled, the new film might be finished in time to air at the 2015 Sundance Film Festival, but for now we'll have to play it by ear.
