Lindsay Lohan for The Best Time of Our Lives
According to MTV, Lindsay Lohan has confirmed that she will play a mom in the upcoming film The Best Time of Our Lives.
The story revolves around Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, his wife Caitlin and the curious real-life incident in which childhood friend Vera Phillips (played by Keira Knightley) and her eventual husband William Killick opened fire on the Thomas home with a machine gun and a hand grenade. The characters were in their 20s at the time of the episode.
The screenplay was written by Knightley's mother, Sharman Macdonald, and will be directed by John Maybury (The Jacket).
The film will explore the events that led up to the incident and its effect on the Thomas family.
While additional castmembers have not been announced, Lohan was visibly excited about working with Knightley — whose character Lohan described as having an enigmatic relationship with her own.
Thomas was one of the 20th century's most celebrated poets — as well as one of its most celebrated drinkers. After a night of binge drinking in New York six days before his death, Thomas quipped, "I've had 18 straight whiskies, I think this is a record!" Among modern readers, he's primarily known for his poem "Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night."
Stay tuned for updates.
