Porn Stars to Mainstream Stars? James Deen and Lindsay Lohan in The Canyons

This is currently a trend and one I understand.

It's marketing, pure and simple.  Conservative American can scoff at it and say it's a terrible thing, but Porn is a Billion dollar a year business, and most likely, the conservative screaming about it is also the one downloading it.

Having said that, many of you know that there has been some people who have transfered over from porn to regular films.  Some have had successful careers at it, Traci Lords and Ron Jeremy are two of them.  We can argue that though Jenna Jameson is not the best actress in the world, her turn in Zombie Strippers was pretty good and it was a role that suited her well.

 Now here comes a new film, The Canyons.

 Starring Lindsay Lohan and Porn Star James Deen.  From Director Paul Schrader (American Gigolo) and writer Bret Easton Ellis (novel: American Psycho).

 This is marketing gold.  I'll tell you why.  Watch this ABC interview with Deen from February 2012.  You'll see what his fan base is and why putting him in a lead role opposite someone we all know, will only increase sales on the film.

  

Lindsay Lohan and Megan Fox vying for Elizabeth Taylor biopic

Seriously. Elizabeth Taylor, in her day, was one of the best actors in the world. If you aren't aware then watch "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" or "Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf".
This is a complete travesty. Megan Fox is an actor that should just stand there, look pretty and shut up. Lohan, well, she's had her moments, but we all know what a waste of oxygen she is. Maybe she will surprise, but playing Taylor in a biopic is not something I think will work. Not at all.

There's more than meets the eye to the Elizabeth Taylor biopic that was supposed to mark Lindsay Lohan's triumphant acting comeback.

"Transformers" star Megan Fox is also in talks for the lead role in Lifetime's "Liz and Dick," about the Hollywood icon's stormy relationship with Richard Burton.

"I've been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversations with other actresses, including Megan Fox," the film's executive producer, Larry Thompson, told E! News.

"It's a very serious selection. It's like casting for Hollywood royalty."

Lohan hopes to clear up her legal status with a probation hearing Tuesday that would allow her to resume her career. Her troubles with the law already may have cost her the starring role in "Lovelace," about the famed porn star Linda Lovelace, a role that eventually went to Malin Akerman.

Fox — who not that long ago was considered one of Hollywood's hottest up-and-coming actresses, thanks largely to her work in “Transformers” — was left out of last summer's sequel "Transformers: Dark of the Moon" after she compared her director, Michael Bay, to Hitler.

Lindsay Lohan on "The Walking Dead"

Lindsay Lohan on AMC's hit The Walking Dead?  It could happen.  She's interested.

“Lindsay is a fan of the show and likes the idea of appearing in what would be a fun cameo as a zombie,” a source explained.
The 24-year-old apparently thinks she will find it easier to secure television roles than leading parts in films. After leaving rehab she admitted she might find it hard to get insured to be on a movie set, which may be why she’s decided to focus on the small screen for now.
“She’s looking to TV for her comeback now and has a number of potential roles lined up including a sitcom and a supernatural drama,” the source added.



She hasn't worked in quite a while and with her latest court battle she needs work.  I think with the loss of the role as Linda Lovelace in Inferno, she's desperate and needs to do a lot to make a comeback.

MACHETE Trailer! HELL YES!

They've made a film from a fake trailer that ran during the intermission of the Rodriguez/Tarantino epic "Grindhouse" double feature.

I've been looking forward to this for some time. I can not wait to see MACHETE on the big screen.

Danny Trejo, Jeff Fahey, Michelle Rodriguez, Lindsay Lohan, Steven Segal, Robert DeNiro, Cheech Marin and the list goes on & on!

Fucking Incredible.

ENJOY!
