Lindsay Lohan Set as Liz Taylor for Lifetime?

Here is the Hollywood question of the day, folks. Who would you cast to play Elizabeth Taylor in a new Lifetime movie? Director David Fincher has made Angelina Jolie his very own Cleopatra, which is a role Taylor made famous. Also, Megan Fox, has that dark-haired, light-eyed look, which Liz embodied. But, would Lindsay Lohan make your list of hopefuls? According to this week’s news, the 25-year old could win this part of a lifetime.

According to the Deadline exclusive, despite some notorious bad behavior, Lohan is in preliminary discussions regarding a starring role in the upcoming Lifetime original movie Elizabeth & Richard: A Love Story. Richard is Richard Burton.

The picture will be produced by Larry Thompson, who also worked on Amish Grace, the Lifetime original tracing the aftermath of a grievous shooting resulting in the death of five Amish children. Christopher Monger has written the Love Story script. His biggest writing credits are Temple Grandin and The Englishman Who Went Up a Hill But Came Down a Mountain.

Lohan has been working here and there. She was seen in Machete, Labor Pains and on ABC’s Ugly Betty. Both Lohan and Taylor entered the crazy world of fame at young ages. The freckles may have to go, but make up artists can make quick work of that!

Hey, Lifetime, I think you should consider Josh Hartnett and Matt Davis of The Vampire Diaries for the role of Richard Burton!
