The producer of Lindsay Lohan's big screen comeback project has admitted "we're screwed" if the Los Angeles District Attorney pursues the trouble-prone actress on what he calls a "trumped-up" probation violation.

In a stinging dig at prosecutors on the eve of Lohan's next court appearance, a frustrated Richard O'Sullivan -- the man behind the film One Night With You -- fired off a stinging statement to RadarOnline.com, in which he criticized those considering jailing the star and bemoaned the project's lack of progress because of the criminal case.

"If the D.A. decides to put her on trial for the theft charges, we can probably work around that," O'Sullivan said Monday, just two days before the Hollywood wild child is due in court to face Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Keith Schwartz.
