Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller filming the movie Lohan dropped out of

Lindsay Lohan was set to play a lesbian lover of Keira Knightley in a new biopic of poet Dylan Thomas. Knightley asked one-time friend Lohan to play the role as a favor to her, as Knightley’s mom wrote the screenplay and they wanted a high profile female to play opposite her. Lohan dropped out a few days before filming, and is now being replaced by Sienna Miller.

Knightley was said to be furious with Lohan’s careless last-minute cancellation. She is no longer friends with the flighty “actress” and was heard cursing her out on the phone:

Keira Knightley… stood in a London street screaming F-words at Mean Grrl via trans-Atlantic cell phone as passerby gaped! Keira went koo-koo when Lindsay suddently pulled out of “The Best Times of Our Lives,” a movie Keira asked her to co-star in because she thought it would be fun working with her pal. Lindsay agreed, then abruptly backed out during last-minute contract negotiations…

Keira, out shopping with a pal, stopped dead [after hearing that Lindsay dropped out from her mother, the movie's screenwriter] and shreiked: “Eff you, you daft little TWIT! You’re a *%#$@! LIAR… and I never want to see your ugly face again!” Kursing Keira kept kutting Lindsay off, says My Spywitness, and hung up after screaming: “Do me a favor - LOSE MY NUMBER! We are no longer friends!”

Now I’m going to be looking to see if these two end up at the same event together. A more public catfight is definitely in order.

Here are pictures from The Daily Mail of Keira and Sienna filming the movie Lohan dropped out of. The two are set to play lovers and even have a threesome scene with actor Matthew Rhys, who plays Thomas.
