UPDATE: Fox411.com is now reporting that Lohan has some “reservations” and has not yet officially signed on.

Lindsay Lohan‘s come a long way since her years as a Disney star. It’s just been confirmed that the troubled actress will play Linda Lovelace in the independent movie Inferno.

Lovelace, real name Linda Susan Boreman, was a porn star best known for her work in 1972’s Deep Throat.

“We’ve all thought that Lindsay would be a great choice for a while now, and we’re all convinced that she is going to do it,” producer Wali Razaqi said. “For at least a year, the director Matthew Wilder and I have gone back and forth imagining how awesome of a performance she could give if she was in the movie.”

“I would say it’s probably one of the most challenging roles any actor could play - and not because of the sexual content, necessarily - but more because she was so battered and beat up emotionally, that I think it’s gonna take everything Lindsay has to really be able to pull it off,” Razaqi told the Los Angeles Times.

Lindsey was recently reported to have been fired from The Other Side because she was deemed “not bankable.” The film’s director and writer David Michaels said: “Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we’ll soon be announcing a replacement.”

An official casting announcement for Inferno will be made later this month at the Cannes Film Festival.
