From ComingSoon.net:
MTV reports that Lindsay Lohan has joined Keira Knightley (Pirates of the Caribbean films) in The Best Time of Our Lives, based on a screenplay written by her mother, the playwright Sharman Macdonald. John Maybury, who directed Knightley in The Jacket, will helm the feature set to go before the cameras in April, the week after Easter.
The Best Time of Our Lives revolves around Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, his wife Caitlin and the curious real-life incident in which childhood friend Vera Phillips (Knightley) and her eventual husband William Killick opened fire on the Thomas home with a machine gun and a hand grenade.
"It's a beautiful and amazing movie - a piece [that] takes place at the time of World War II," Lohan said. "I have a child in the movie."
The film explores the events that led up to the incident and its effect on the Thomas family - which moved soon after from its home in Wales.
While additional cast members have not been announced, Lohan was visibly excited about working with Knightley - whose character Lohan described as having an enigmatic relationship with her own.
"[Keira] is older than me, but she kind of has a mysterious relationship with my lover," Lohan chirped. "And then there's somewhat of a lesbian undertone."
Okay. Let me get this straight. The world's two favorite thin ingenues will have a lesbian subtext between them in their WWII-set film which features someone opening fire and throwing a grenade at their neighbor's house?
I think that pop you heard was just a million heteromales' heads exploding. My inner heteromale did the same. Well, the heteromale that was in me at the time!
Oh, Darren...
