Lifetime has set November 25 for the premiere of Liz & Dick starring Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor and Grant Bowler as Richard Burton. The story of the couple’s passionate and stormy love affair is executive produced by Larry A. Thompson (Amish Grace) and directed by Lloyd Kramer (Mitch Albom’s The Five People You Meet in Heaven). Christopher Monger (Temple Grandin) penned the script. A+E Networks will handle international distribution. Liz & Dick will air at 9 PM on Lifetime.

I will be watching, along with the ghost of Lester Persky, who did a FABULOUS Liz mini-series some years back with Sherilyn Fenn. He would want Larry’s show to do well because Larry Thompson is one of those guys who goes good things no one knows about because he is a real southern gentleman and one of the last “real” producers.
Cannot wait for this trainwreck.
From the clips I’ve seen, I simply cannot understand the casting of Lindsay Lohan. She brings nothing to the role that says “Elizabeth Taylor” to me. And it seems that the whole affair (pun intended) hits or misses on our believing that the then 29-year-old Elizabeth Taylor is once again with us.
Crickets.
Good way to ruin our Thanksgiving.
This will be the worst made for TV movie of all time, but will get huge ratings because everyone will want to see just how bad LiLo is.
