Lindsay Lohan's 'A Woman of No Importance'
Oscar Wilde's
self-declared genius lives on, as another one of the gay writer's plays
hits the big screen: Annette Bening and Lindsay Lohan will
star in a new adaptation of Wilde's A Woman of No Importance for
director Bruce Beresford, who showed a sure hand with actresses
in Driving Miss Daisy and Crimes of the Heart.
These
two leading ladies seem to dig gay writers - Bening just starred in
Ryan Murphy's movie version of Augusten Burroughs' memoir
Running with Scissors, while, as Romeo has reported, Lohan will
appear in The Loss of a Teardrop Diamond, based on an unproduced
screenplay by Tennessee Williams.
A Woman of No Importance, which deals with old secrets, new
flames, and illegitimate children, should scandalize its way into
theaters before the end of 2007.
