LOS ANGELES — Lindsay Lohan is in talks to star in her first film since finishing her three-month court-ordered stay at a California rehab facility, RadarOnline reported Sunday.
The 24-year-old actress will return by mid-year for a role in “Escaping the Game,” a drama to be filmed in the US and Spain, producer Nathan Folks told the entertainment website.
Folks said contracts are still yet to be signed but expected the deal to be finalized within the next few weeks.
“She wants to do it,” he said.
Lohan will play an investigator hired in a case involving missing celebrities who fake their own deaths and create a new life for themselves on a remote island.
“It’s about celebs who become very famous and can’t take it,” Folks said.

The movie role comes after Lohan was charged with felony grand theft over a missing $2,500 necklace.
Lohan, who is on probation for a 2007 DUI case, has pleaded not guilty to one count of felony grand theft and will return to court Wednesday for a hearing on the terms of her probation.
Folks is confident the “Mean Girls” star will stay sober and out of jail, and said he had discovered how to get her insured for his $30 million project.
“We can get her insured if she is with someone who is keeping an eye on her 24/7,” Folks said. “Lindsay and I’ve discussed it and she’s already agreed to the condition.”
Chris Zylka, who appeared in the short-lived TV series “10 Things I Hate About You” and in the upcoming “The Amazing Spider-Man,” is in talks to star alongside Lohan.
