Los Angeles: She may be stuck in court-ordered rehab, but Lindsay Lohan is still on to play porn star Linda Lovelace in the much hyped bio-pic Inferno.
The troubled star is beginning a 90-day rehab after being released from prison recently and rumours suggested that she had been dumped from the project.
But Inferno's producers have jumped to her defence, declaring their loyalty to the star. To rebuff any further speculation, new images of Lindsay posing in character asLinda Lovelace have been released, reported E! online.
"Certain media articles have indicated there had been some alternative actors considered for the Lovelace role. Lindsay's mother called the director yesterday concerned that there was some truth to the statements. These stories are completely unfounded and untrue," said a statement by the film's producer Chris Hanley and director Matthew Wilder.
Meanwhile the new images shot by Lindsay's friend photographer Tyler Shields, have set Internet forums abuzz.
The shots see her in white underwear, posing provocatively on a bed surrounded by men. In another image the 24-year-old gazes at herself in a mirror, wearing a brunette curly wig.
The statement confirmed that shooting has been rearranged to commence after Lohan has completed her stint in rehab.
"The current production schedule, which works around L.L.'s current court obligations, has a start of photography in November of this year. The creative team behind Inferno: A Linda Lovelace Story wishes to express our renewed support for Lindsay Lohan," said the statement.
Originally set to commence this month, filming has been postponed until November. The actress, who served 13 days of her 90-day sentence, was whisked to her new rehabilitation facility under heavy security after a last-minute change in plans.
The star has checked into the Stewart & Lynda Resnick Neuropsychiatric Hospital, where Britney Spears was held in protective care in 2008.
