The producers of Lindsay Lohan’s latest movie, The Canyons, are considering releasing online racy sex scenes featuring the embattled actress, because the project doesn’t have a theatrical release date, RadarOnline.com is exclusively reporting.
“Producers of the movie are freaking out because The Canyons doesn’t have a distributor to release it theatrically. The Sundance Film Festival turned it down, and the only buzz the movie is getting is Lindsay Lohan’s four-way sex scene, in which she is fully nude,” a source tells RadarOnline.com
“Producers are considering leaking a snippet of the sex scene online, or to a tabloid website in the hopes that would secure a distributorship deal,” the source says.
Lohan was paid a paltry $100 per day for her role in the independent flick.
The 26-year-old’s contract called for pay of “$100 a day and an equal share of the profits,” but she was denied any decisive powers in the making of the film, which had a skeleton budget of just $250,000.
The Mean Girls star had her reservations prior to filming the sexy exchange, hiding in a closet before the nude scene, which spurred director Paul Schrader, 65, to strip naked himself in hopes of helping her feel comfortable.
It worked: According to New York Times writer Stephen Rodrick, after Schrader changed into his birthday suit, “Lohan dropped her robe. “Schrader shouted, ‘Action,’ and they filmed the scene in one 14-minute take. About halfway through, Lohan looked directly into the camera and flashed a dirty, demented smile at Schrader.”
