• Ummm..Lindsay as Elizabeth is clearly a practical joke of some sort. As for the title itself? Is anyone aware that she HATED being called Liz? Really, this is merely a spoof of two of the most beautiful people ever to be in the industry. Sad, sad, sad.

  • THANK YOU! Someone else knows this! She did hate being called Liz and Richard hated being called Dick! I don’t understand why they called the movie this!

• And why is there a 20-year age gap between Lilo and Grant Bowler when there was only a 7-year difference between Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton?

  • Years of cigarettes, booze and coke bridge that age gap.

  • Gotta agree with the reply from Anonymous, Anonymous.
    To recreate Burton’s distinctive look, casting required either…

    (1) Having to find a young actor in Lohan’s age range, but who has a craggy faced, “older than he looks”, weather-worn face OR…

    (2) Simply casting a much older guy (which the average viewer won’t notice) where age has taken some of its natural toll — and thus gives the actor that distinctive Burton look.

    In terms of Hollywood casting, seems to me that Option #2 would be a lot easier to do.

• Have to admit, she looks great!

• Poor Liz is spinning in her grave so fast that there’s a sinkhole in Burbank.

• Sadly, black and white Photoshop can’t mask for someone having absolutely NO talent. This entire fiasco is a slap in the face to the legacy that is Elizabeth Taylor. Sigh.

  • I don’t think I agree; LL has talent. She may not be THERON or of that gravitas, but she has chops. It seems to me those moments, if a director can really get her to produce, she could leave a lot of unbelievers behind. I am more than willing to give her a chance. I have felt for some time the kid needs to rewind, become a woman, cut her friggin hair to a long, elegant bob, dye it and then work. Shake off that blonde party bimbo image.

    • Lindsay went back to being a redhead months ago.The blonde hair was a wig, how could you not tell ? Bangs, different texture from her natural hair,etc. A “Bob” is not long and she will be wearing several wigs as Elizabeth Taylor, there is no need for her to dye her own hair.How can a person use “gravitas” and “friggin” in the same comment ?
      Lindsay will make Miss Taylor proud and redeem herself with this project.

• I know she was a cute teen that grew into a very troubled young woman, but there’s still a part of me — basically, the part that remembers just how personable she was in her earlier films — that’s rooting for her. This project seems like a great way to prove herself yet again.

  And on the one hand, I’d like to think I’d be a good guy and root for anyone trying to pick up the pieces and rebuild their life…on the other hand, I gotta admit that I’m rooting for her because I think she’s totally HOT.

  Holy crap, she looks FANTASTIC in that photo!
  Can’t wait to see more future stills and the film itself.

• I’m the cynic who thinks cynics got bowls with too many damned cherries in them but I gotta admit – this photo is AWESOME. That said, I’m doubting that this can be something that won’t suck — but hell, if L.L. can nail Elizabeth’s odd, non-regional accent and more importantly, that dirty laugh – well, this will be the stuff of legend. I’m now in the ‘holy shit, this could maybe work’ state of mind.

• No-one can carry off Burton’s magentism or gravitas so whoever gets the job will manage a caricature at best. This one will crash faster than a lead zeppelin…
