Megan Fox, Lindsay Lohan vying for Elizabeth Taylor role

By Alexandra Heilbron on January 17, 2012 | 9 Comments


Both Megan Fox (left) and Lindsay Lohan (right) are being considered to play Elizabeth Taylor (middle) in a made-for-TV production called Liz and Dick for the Lifetime Network. The film’s executive producer Larry Thompson confirmed the news to E! News, saying: “I’ve been talking to Lindsay Lohan directly, and with her reps, and have been in conversation with other actresses, including Megan Fox. It’s a very serious selection. It’s like casting for Hollywood royalty.” A final decision is supposed to be made next week, as the movie begins shooting here in Canada this spring. Which one do you think would make a better Liz Taylor? Or is there another actress you would like to see play the role? [poll id=”343″]

    oh puhleeze.Do not do the great Elizabeth Taylor a huge dishonour by casting either of these classless wannabees as her.

    they should find a fresh new actress to play the Queen Elizabeth Taylor. The fact that these 2 were chosen is a big slap in the face to her legacy, the only reason why these 2 would probably want this role is to revive their mediocre career…….ELIZABETH TAYLOR WORKED HARD AND PAVED THE WAY FOR THE HOLLYWOOD STARS OF TODAY….SHE DESERVES MUCH BETTER THAN THIS!!!

    I can’t believe these idiots were even thought of being chosen for the role they are both horrible washed out actresses that were big for only a short period. None have even played a real serious role either!

    I agree, there MUST be some unknown out that that can use a shot at fame. These two had chance after chance and keep blowing it. Give it to someone else who might appreciate the possible fame that can go with a decent final product.

    UH! I freaking hate this! Megan Fox is a s*** who cant act and Lindsay Ho-han is just a washed up wannabee. Please dont spit on the great Elizabeth’s legacy by putting one of THEM in this. Put an unknown that can actually act. If not, but a hollywood sweetheart that people actually like. My pick would be Jessica Chastain frm the Help or maybe even Mila Kunis. JUST NOT THEM!
