Lindsay Lohan causes stir at Sundance Film Festival
Leave it to Lindsay Lohan to show up at a film festival without a film.
While most stars show up in Park City, Utah, to promote films that are showing at the Sundance Film Festival, the 27-year-old former child star made an appearance to announce she plans on producing and starring in a movie called “Inconceivable,” which will start shooting in March.
Lohan told the Associated Press that the film is a psychological thriller about a woman trying to reclaim something she lost.
Accompanied by producer and financier Randall Emmett and a reality show crew from OWN, Lohan told reporters she was honored to be at Sundance for the first time and looking forward to a “fresh start.”
