But now Wilder tells RadarOnline.com that he is developing a 'Plan B' if Lindsay can't shoot the movie.
It's the first sign that Lindsay may not do the film as originally planned.

The Mean Girls star, 24, will be in rehab at least until January 3, 2011 per court order. Inferno was seen as the comeback movie for Lindsay, who once earned $10 million a film.
But interestingly, Lohan did not meet with Wilder and his team when she returned to Hollywood during the weekend after getting a 'day pass' from the Betty Ford Center.

Wilder told RadarOnline.com: "I can confirm that we did not see Lindsay Lohan over the weekend.
"You know we have been through a lot with this project, and although she is still our number one choice - we do have a Plan B if she cannot film Inferno.

"And actually we have had a great response from other people who really want the part too.
"But we will wait until Lindsay has fulfilled all of her rehab and court obligations to see if she will be able to take her place as we had originally planned."
Lohan's dirty drug test in September forced Wilder and his producers to make alternative plans for shooting but this is the first time he has admitted publicly that the film will go on with or without the troubled actress.
And RadarOnline.com also has learned that the actress has not signed off on her final contract which would bind her to the movie.
After being released from Betty Ford Center on Saturday, the actress returned to Los Angeles with her assistant Eleonore before filming an ad campaign for Russian fashion line Kira Plastinina at a location near the rehab in Rancho Mirage, California.

The Machete star has been dong well in rehab and has, so far, been following the rules imposed on her by both her counselors and the courts.
Lohan was sent back to rehab on October 22 by Judge Elden Fox.

If she successfully completes her treatment program and does not fail any more random drug tests, Wilder and his producers hope to start filming Inferno as quickly as they can.
Lohan has been missing from the big screen since 2007's psychological thriller I Know Who Killed Me and her last hit movie was 2004's Mean Girls.

GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can't place enough exclamation marks after that one word. She really, REALLY needs to get away from this trashy project - it won't help her career, only put her on the "skid row" career of porn-esque stars.

Lindsay has a notorious reputation for flaking out. In this case though, most people would probably agree that it would be better for her in the long run if she did flake on this one. She does need the money, but If she can get it elsewhere.

this movie will never happen. with or without lindsay.

just curious...jill, why do you say that? I know Lindsay already did a photo shoot for it, and there are posters, etc... so it was on it's way. Are you saying there is no money to make it?

i'm saying it because he's been talking about casting it for over 5 months and has yet to cast anyone. also, linda's family is against any movie about her and has not given him the rights to even use linda's name.

I hope you're right! Not sure they need her families permission though, since posters already have Lindsay's picture, and Linda's name on them, and nothing has been done about that.

i believe those were promos to be used to secure financing, not the actual film promos. from what i've read her family hasn't given either inferno or the other lovelace movie the rights to use her name and they both need that.
