Lindsay Lohan never offered John Gotti movie?

It looks like Lindsay Lohan, who was reportedly cast as Kim Gotti in the highly anticipated biopic of John Gotti, Gotti: Three Generations with John Travolta in the title role, really never was in the movie to begin with. Sources say Lohan was never seriously considered for the role and was used by the producers to add legitimacy to the movie. It seems producers saw Lohan as a liability due to her past legal troubles and only needed her name to gain publicity for the film. This isn't the first time producers of the John Gotti biopic have allegedly used a celebrity to gain press for their film. Joe Pesci, who was cast as Angelo Ruggiero, is reportedly suing the filmmakers for hiring but later firing him after he says he gained weight for the role. I can't say I feel sorry for Lohan but it sure looks like she was given the shaft on this one.
