LINDSAY LOHAN is to star in her first film since 2013, a mysterious new project called “The Shadow Within.”

    The former child star took to Instagram to share a photograph from her third day on set, in which she appears in character on a bed adorned with pristine white sheets. Lohan’s last full-length feature was the critically panned 2013 thriller “The Canyons,” directed by Paul Schrader and written by the novelist Bret Easton Ellis.

    Where “The Canyons” was subject to extensive coverage before it had even begun shooting, courtesy of the involvement of Lohan, Ellis and porn star James Deen (as the male lead), little is known about “The Shadow Within.” The title is the English-language translation of the 1970 psychological drama “Kage No Kuruma” by the acclaimed Japanese director Yoshitaro Nomura. That movie is about an emasculated married man who suspects the young son of his mistress is plotting murder, but it is not known if Lohan’s project is a remake.

    Lohan appeared in the West End play “Speed-the-Plow” last year, receiving decent critical notices.(SD-Agencies)
