Actress Amanda Seyfried, who you may recognize from HBO's Big Love or last year's movie version of Mamma Mia!, has been cast to star in the big screen adaptation of A Woman Of No Importance by Oscar Wilde. The role was originally supposed to be for Lindsay Lohan, but producers opted for a fresh face, and I mean that both figuratively and literally. WENN reports:
Mamma Mia! star Amanda Seyfried has beaten Lindsay Lohan to the lead role in a big-screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde play A Woman Of No Importance. Mean Girls star Lohan was first linked to the part in 2006, but she appears to have lost out to Seyfried, who will step back in time for the upper-class dark comedy, set in Britain's Victorian era.This is hardly a surprising choice considering the nature of the role. The only thing that seems upper class about Lindsay Lohan are the expensive booze she likes to drink. I suppose this means she'll be trashing Seyfried by writing on a bathroom stall door in the near future.She will star opposite Sean Bean, who will portray womaniser Lord Illingworth, and Annette Bening will play his mother, according to Variety.
