Lindsay Lohan Bows Out of Gotti Biopic

Radaronline reports that Lindsay Lohan will no longer take part in the upcoming biopic of John Gotti starring John Travolta in the title role. According to the report, Lohan's representatives were not able to reach a mutual agreement with the producers of the film.

In a statement to RadarOnline, Lohan's publicist Steve Honig commented, "I can confirm that Lindsay has not signed on to be a part of the John Gotti movie, nor is she in talks to join the cast. It does not look like an agreement can be made. Lindsay's representatives and film producers were unable to come to an agreement. Lindsay has the utmost respect for Barry Levinson [the director of the movie] and the producers and hopes to work with them in the future and wishes them all the best."

Lohan is currently shooting the Lifetime TV movie Liz & Dick which will follow the trubulent relationship between legendary screen actress Elizabeth Taylor and her on-again/off-again husband Richard Burton.

Producers of the Gotti biopic have also commented on recent reports that Travolta was involved in a sex scandal with a former masseur. In a statement to RadarOnline they revealed, "The producers of the Gotti film, as well as the Gotti family, fully support John Travolta 110 percent and the allegations that have surfaced against him haven't harmed the project in any way, shape or form. I can't be more clear about this, this does not impact the film in any way, shape or form. Filming is scheduled to begin later this year and we will be making an announcement shortly about distribution for the movie. It's a very exciting time and we are all looking forward to filming begining."
