Lindsay Lohan's Upcoming Projects
In March 2022 it was announced that Lindsay Lohan had signed a two-plus movie deal with Netflix — and the first one, Falling for Christmas, is going to be released on November 10.
The movie's official synopsis says "a newly engaged, spoiled hotel heiress gets into a skiing accident, suffers from total amnesia, and finds herself in the care of a handsome, blue-collar lodge owner and his precocious daughter in the days leading up to Christmas."
For Netflix, Lindsay Lohan described Sierra Belmont (the character she plays) as "Extravagant. Temperamental. Glamorous." The actress added that she missed doing rom-coms. "It’s such a refreshing, heartwarming romantic comedy, and I miss doing those kinds of movies," Lohan said.
The former Disney star admitted that one of the best parts about being back in front of the cameras was shooting all the stunt scenes. "All the stunt scenes were really fun for me because I haven’t gotten to do that much in a lot of my films," Lohan said. "[Like] flying off the hill, attempting to ski well and not doing it."
The other project, titled Irish Wish, is set to be released in 2023.
In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Lindsay Lohan admitted that she is very excited about getting back to acting.
"I am having a wonderful time working with Netflix and am discussing next steps," the actress said. "I would love to dive deeper and play a character who’s on a journey [of] self-discovery."
In fact, even though Lohan hasn't been acting much in the past couple of years, the actress revealed that to her acting is like riding a bike.
"But for me, my whole life, acting is like riding a bicycle. It’s just in me. It’s a part of me," Lohan told The Hollywood Reporter. "Doing films, playing a character, it brings me so much joy to be able to share a story with people. To take people on that journey with me is such a blessing."
The actress hired an acting coach, and she revealed they have helped her improve her skills a lot.
