April 21st, 2011 - 5:07 pm ICT by ANI
London, April 21 (ANI): It’s official. Lindsay Lohan will be joining the cast of the highly anticipated movie about the late New York mafia boss John Gotti.
Instead of Victoria Gotti, the daughter of Gotti, the troubled star will now play Kim Gotti, the wife of John Gotti, Jr.
Lohan’s last minute intervention has seen her get back on board in the movie ‘Gotti: Three Generations’ from which she was dumped hours before.
It comes after the 24-year-old actress personally called Marc Fiore, the producer of the movie, to thrash out a deal.
Lohan was initially set to play the role of the mobster’s daughter Victoria.
The flick also stars John Travolta, who has been cast to play Gotti Sr.
Fiore described it as a very “important role”, adding that Lohan was very excited about it.
“She was definitely out as of earlier today, but she really wanted the part,” the Daily Mail quoted him as telling People mag.
“She not only is back in the movie, but she single-handedly put it all together, he added, confiirming: “She called me personally and put her team on it and we came to an agreement,” he added.
He said Lohan was “no nonsense” when it came to sorting the deal and played a “real leadership role”. (ANI)
