Lindsay Lohan's upcoming role in "The Other Side" was originally
intended for Katie Holmes, the film's director tells E! News.

In fact, Holmes provided David Michaels with a lot of input on the
character.
"Katie would call me from Berlin at 4 a.m. her time to go over ideas
and notes," said Michaels, who also co-wrote the script.
"We did this over successive weeks while she was there with Tom when
he was filming Valkyrie. The result of our collaboration has
tremendously improved the arc and dynamic of the lead character."
Holmes eventually had to drop out due to scheduling problems after
the film ran into funding problems - providing a much needed opportunity
for Lohan to prove she's a bankable star.
"Lindsay's very aware of people's perceptions of her," Michaels told
Daily Variety earlier this month. "She's really committed to doing what
she has to in order to change that."
