The story of 51-year-old actor Doug Hutchison marrying a beaming teen bride already sounded like a story scripted for the movies, but now it's the other way around. The "Lost" actor, who has been keeping busy with 17-year-old wife Courtney Stodden at the pumpkin patch and pitching their own reality TV show, has pulled out of a film project over concerns regarding his character's appropriateness. To wit: Hutchison was cast as a director who engages in a "strange and scandalous relationship with the teenage pop star he casts," according to the film production company, via RadarOnline.

Given the couple's recent notoriety and booming tabloid popularity, Hutchison nixing potentially creepy press comes as a refreshingly wise decision amidst his wife's overly sexual tweets and questionable Sunday attire.

Still, director Richard O'Sullivan -- who initially called it "perfect casting" -- told the website: "I know it's gonna surprise a lot of people to hear this,...

HollywoodNews.com: ‘Lost’ actor Doug Hutchison apparently doesn’t want people confusing his real life with film as he has reportedly pulled out of a movie that hits a little too close to home.

Hutchison was reportedly cast in ‘The Genesis of Lincoln’ that would have had him playing a director that has a scandalous relationship with a teen pop star, states RadarOnline.com.

“Doug was legitimately concerned about some of the sexual content and how people might not be able to separate who he is as a person from the character he was playing,” director Richard O’Sullivan commented.

Hutchison married Courtney Stodden when she was 16 years old. The two have since been causing a stir with their romance.

The Green Mile star Doug Hutchison has dropped out of the movie adaptation of James Harrison Cathey's The Genesis Of Lincoln over concerns about the film's sexual content.

The actor, who hit the headlines earlier this year when he wed teenage singer Courtney Stodden, was set to play a director adapting the book about assassinated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln's life, but he has now quit the project.

Producer/director Richard O'Sullivan tells WENN, "I know it's gonna surprise a lot of people to hear this, but Doug was legitimately concerned about some of the sexual content and how people might not be able to separate who he is as a person from the character he was playing.

"The role in question is that of filmmaker Drey LeBeck, a director who sets out to adapt the infamous Cathey book, who falls into a strange and scandalous relationship with the teenage pop star he casts as Lincoln's mother.

"Initially, it seemed like perfect casting, playing on the parallels. But eventually I think Doug and the character became too intertwined. Doug's a wonderful guy, a brilliant actor, and a terrific creative collaborator. Ultimately though, they're not one and the same. The character at points is not nearly as sympathetic and as likeable as Doug, and this is coming from someone who likes Doug a lot."

O'Sullivan has recast actor Robin Spriggs as LeBeck.

The Genesis of Lincoln is currently in pre-production and is set to start shooting in New York City in early 2012.

Don't call it a comeback -- Lindsay Lohan may lose the part in her own comeback story.

Lohan, who as far back as 2009 was in talks to play a thinly veiled version of her troubled starlet self in producer Richard O'Sullivan's film 'One Night With You,' may be in danger of losing the part thanks to her latest troubles, Richard Johnson's Flash reports in The Daily (iPad-only).

The star, who just recently left a three month stint of rehab -- which had troubles and allegations of its own -- was accused on Tuesday night of stealing a necklace from a Los Angeles jewelry store. Though the necklace was later returned by a Lohan associate, she's under investigation by the Lapd, and if they find wrongdoing, she could be headed back to jail -- and out of the film.

More jail time would mean no screen time,...

Troubled actress Lindsay Lohan's legal woes seem to be taking a toll on her career, as she is reportedly being replaced by country singer Taylor Swift in a new romantic comedy about a child star finding success on a reality TV dating show. Writer-producer Richard O'Sullivan initially offered Mean Girls star Lohan the lead in his new film One Night With You after writing it with her in mind. O'Sullivan said: "It is ready-made for Lindsay... but we're proceeding with extreme caution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very trying time." Lohan has since served two stints in jail ...

Contrary to the swirling rumor, Taylor Swift has never been set to replace Lindsay Lohan in romantic comedy "One Night with You". It was the "Mine" hitmaker's representative who put an end to the speculation. In response to the so-called false story, the rep told MTV News that nothing is planned as of now.

The claim that Taylor is likely to take over Lindsay in the casting of the female lead has surfaced just as the "Machete" actress was continually ridden with drug issues. In its report, Radar Online mentioned that writer/producer Richard O'Sullivan is having second thought on hiring Lindsay because of her problems with the law.

"It's very frustrating - we've had financing ready to come to the table for the damned thing for almost a year now," Richard shared his frustration to Radar. "But we can't put ink to paper, block out dates, and start rolling...

Lindsay Lohan was attached to star in "One Night With You" romantic comedy, but her legal problems have forced producers to consider giving the role to Taylor Swift (Valentine's Day). A few months ago the offer was made to Swift, but the singer/actress was in the middle of her tour. To move forward, the filmmakers were once again thinking of going with Lohan, hoping that the actress would be able to overcome her troubles. "It is ready-made for Lindsay," director Richard O'Sullivan previously stated. "But we're proceeding with extreme caution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very trying time." Now that Lohan is in even more trouble after failing a drug test, "One Night" producers have once again returned to Swift and are in the middle of negotiations. If Swift gets the part, this would be the second film that Lohan lost after she was dropped from "The Other Side.

The producer of Lindsay Lohan's upcoming romantic comedy One Night With You tells Celebuzz exclusively that he still wants her for the role of a scandal-plagued Hollywood starlet, despite rumors Taylor Swift might be replacing her. "Nothing is set in stone. We continue to hold Lindsay in the highest regard," writer/producer Richard O'Sullivan tells Celebuzz exclusively. "She's a tremendous actor and remains the perfect choice for the role of Nikki in One Night With You." O'Sullivan even wrote the role, described as a "former child star whose career is rocked by a series of public scandals," with Lohan in mind. But he...

Well, this was bound to happen after Lindsay Lohan failed another drug test. According to Metro, there's some buzz that Lohan might lose her spot in the romantic comedy 'One Night with You' to none other than Taylor Swift.

The movie in question would feature Lohan as an ex-child star whose good name is destroyed by public scandals. No, that's no joke, just wildly too familiar. She winds up participating in a dating reality show in hopes it'll spark a comeback. That's when the romantic counterpart kicks in and she loses sight of her original goal thanks to a good looking bartender who doesn't care much for the wild celebrity life. Back when the news first hit that the film's writer and producer, Richard O'Sullivan, wanted Lohan for the role, he told WENN, "It is ready-made for Lindsay ... but we're proceeding with extreme caution."

Lindsay Lohan's legal problem could cost her a movie role. The troubled actress has been projected to star in "One Night with You" but filmmakers have now considered to give the role to Taylor Swift following her latest jail stint on September 24, WENN reports.

"It appears the romantic comedy may finally be off the table for Lindsay Lohan. The producers had actually talked to Taylor Swift's agent a few months back about replacing Lindsay, but Taylor was in the middle of her tour," a source says. "Now that Lindsay can't conquer her troubles, they're taking the offer back to Taylor."

Previously, writer/producer Richard O'Sullivan told WENN that filmmakers were paying attention to Lohan's problems before moving forward with their plan to cast the 24-year-old star. "It is ready-made for Lindsay... but we're proceeding with extreme caution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very trying time,...

Lindsay Lohan's legal woes appear to have given Taylor Swift her big movie break - the country sweetheart is the new favourite to replace the Mean Girls actress in a new film about a former child star finding success on a reality TV dating show.

Writer/producer Richard O'Sullivan initially offered Lohan the lead in his new film One Night With You after writing it with her in mind.

He told WENN, "It is ready-made for Lindsay... but we're proceeding with extreme caution while the Lohan family sorts through their issues during a very trying time."

Lohan has since served two stints in jail - the latest a 10-hour stay on Friday - and spent time in a court-ordered lockdown rehab. And now it looks as if producers have moved on from the troubled star.

A source says, "It appears the romantic comedy may finally be off the table for Lindsay Lohan. The producers had actually talked to Taylor Swift's agent a few months back about replacing Lindsay, but Taylor was in the middle of her tour.

"Now that Lindsay can't conquer her troubles, they're taking the offer back to Taylor."

It's the second major role Lohan has lost this year - in April, she was dropped from new movie The Other Side.

It won't be Swift's first acting gig - the Love Story singer has appeared on CSI: Crime Scene Investigation and in the film Valentine's Day.

Writer/producer Richard O'sullivan has offered Lindsay Lohan a career lifeline just days after the actress was dumped from her latest film project - he wants her to play a character loosely based on herself. The screenwriter penned "One Night With You" with Lohan partly in mind and now believes the comedy could be her comeback film - if she'll agree to have a little fun at her own expense.

The script revolves around a former child star, whose reputation is ruined by a series of public scandals. She books a gig on a reality dating show to keep her career afloat and hopefully clean up her image. A source close to the film says, "Basically the character is Lindsay Lohan. Wouldn't it be funny if Lindsay herself was cast? The thinking being, 'Hey, look what 'The Wrestler' did for Mickey Rourke'."

O'Sullivan tells WENN, "It is ready-made for Lindsay.

"We want to put an official offer on the table but we want to make sure that the timing is right and that we don't add to any of Lindsay's current stress. That said though, we're pulling for Lindsay, and we're pulling for that whole family. They've been demonized from all sides, but let's get real. Families get crazy with each other. They love each other, they hate each other. The only difference is that the Lohans have to do it with cameras watching them.

"We believe in Lindsay's talent and hope to put an offer on the table and work with her when she's ready."

Lindsay and her estranged father Michael are currently embroiled in a war of words after he organised a police-led raid on her Hollywood apartment last week (ends23Apr10) and then appeared on TV insisting the actress was a bad role model for her teenage sister Ali, who lives with her.

Claiming his eldest daughter is hooked on prescription drugs, Michael Lohan is seeking a court order to force the actress into rehab and a conservatorship ruling that will give him control of the troubled star's finances.

Lohan's film career took another hit last week (ends23Apr10) when she was dropped from new movie The Other Side.

Writer/director David Michaels confirmed the Mean Girls star won't be moving forward with the project, explaining, "Our team simply chose to move on from Lindsay and we'll soon be announcing a replacement."...

I just got back from two weeks of heavy, heavy drinking in San Francisco and El Cerrito and I need time to recover. Here are a few quick important news stories until I return tomorrow. True Blood season will premiere on June 13. Porn star Sasha Grey returns to the horror genre with Richard O'Sullivan's Hallows Grey told HorrorSquad.com, "Hallows basically takes the standard kids-in-the-woods-running-from-a-killer genre and flips it on its ear. The deaths aren't random. They're not cookie cutter. Each character dies in a fashion relating to the way they live their life. I'm less interested in gore-for-the-sake-of-gore (although there is gore in this film and plenty of it) than the psychology behind the characters and how they react to what happens."...

A week from now, you'll soon find porn star Sasha Grey in Smash Cut , the horror film by director Lee Demarbre which hits DVD. Grey is already lining up her next genre project, Hallows from Richard O'Sullivan. She'll play a Christian (!) that take a purity pledge not to have sex before she gets married. Grey also starred in The Girlfriend Experience for Steven Soderbergh. O'Sullivans tells >Horror Squad , "Hallows basically takes the standard kids-in-the-woods-running-from-a-killer genre and flips it on its ear. The deaths aren't random. They're not cookie cutter.

Top porn star Sasha Grey has landed an odd new movie role as a Bible-wielding teen who takes a purity pledge and refuses to have sex before marriage.

The adult film star, who has appeared in over 180 porn movies in the past four years, has signed up to star in new horror film Hallows - as an unlikely virgin.

Writer/director Richard O'Sullivan says, "We toyed with offering Sasha another sexier role in the film, but she fell in love with the idea of playing against type, portraying the exact opposite of what the public perceives her to be."

It's not Grey's first non-porn movie - the 22 year old star won rave reviews last year for her lead performance in Steven Soderbergh's The Girlfriend Experience.

Ironically, top Christian film star Christina Cupo will also play against type - as a heavily pierced and tattooed goth girl with a fondness for sado-masochism in the movie.

In what can only be described as twistedly brilliant casting, adult film performer-turned-mainstream actress Sasha Grey has attached to the upcoming horror film "Hallows," playing the role of Eve, a Bible-wielding teen who takes a Jonas brother-style "purity pledge," refusing to have sex before marriage. "We toyed with offering Sasha another--sexier--role in the film," says Writer/Producer/Director Richard O'Sullivan. "But she fell in love with the idea of playing against type, portraying the exact opposite of what the public perceives her to be." The twenty-two-year-old Grey, who won rave reviews last year for her lead performance in "The Girlfriend Experience" (directed by Oscar-winner Steven Soderbergh of "Traffic" and "Ocean's Eleven" fame), first gained show biz noteriety as a porn star, then as a fashion model for American Apparel.

She has quickly earned a reputation as "the thinking man's sex symbol." "It's not what you would expect from Sasha," says Producer John Edmonds Kozma.

Lindsay Lohan is in talks to play a character loosely based on herself.

Producers John Edmonds Kozma and Richard O'Sullivan are working on a new romantic comedy called One Night With You and they hope to land Lohan as the lead.

Reports suggest the character is a former child star who gets wrapped up in all sorts of scandal, goes to rehab and revamps her career by appearing on a reality dating show.

The actress' publicist was unavailable for comment.

Sources report that Scott M. Rosenfelt who produced classics such as "Home Alone," "Mystic Pizza," and "Teen Wolf," will team with producer John Edmonds Kozma (Nick Cassavetes' "Kentucky Rhapsody") to work on a new romantic comedy. Richard O'Sullivan ("Communication Breakdown") writes "One Night With You." The story is set in the world of reality television and based on an original story by Dan Lashley ("Rose Colored Miles"). The comedy is one of three O'Sullivan-penned films in a new slate from Bang Productions and Lost Colony Entertainment, which includes the action flick "The Teacher" (from "Monk and Mercenary" producer Tarmo Urb) and the horror film "Hallows" (from "Cabin Fever 2" and "Being Michael Madsen" producer Patrick Durham).
