Lindsay Lohan is a lot of things in the first promotional spot for the Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton biopic Liz & Dick. Partially clothed is one of them if the first footage is any indication.
Lifetime went adjective hunting to describe Elizabeth Taylor’s years with Richard Burton (played by Grant Bowler) that form the crux of Liz & Dick. Controversial, provocative, scandal, love affairs, diamonds and paparazzi are only some of them. Lindsay Lohan should be able to relate to some of those with relative ease.
I’d like to point out the adjective “controversial” as that is exactly what this first footage has become. Some people are in love with the idea of Lindsay Lohan playing the iconic actress. Others feel Taylor is rolling over in her grave at the thought of Lohan in the role. There’s really no middle ground; you either love Lohan’s casting or you hate it.
The Liz & Dick trailer arrived earlier today right on cue after the first teaser poster featuring a first look at Lindsay Lohan as Liz was release last night. Lifetime is calling it a teaser so expect something a little more substantial to pop up in the coming weeks.
Look for the Lifetime movie event Liz & Dick starring Lindsay Lohan and Grant Bowler to premiere in November.
