Ali Lohan Mere Inches Away From Her Big Break In 'Worst Movie Ever Made' Remake!
Posted by Molly Friedman at 10:35 AM on June 21, 2008
Sometimes we feel the need to get down on our knees and bow down to Mother of the Century Dina Lohan. Not only did she produce the neverending carnival ride that is Lindsay Lohan, but she has managed to do the impossible: get Ali Lohan a job. Sure, Ali was supposed to be a rap star or white hip hop lyricist or something, but a gig is a gig. Proving that one should always be careful of what they wish for, Ali's desire to "be just like Lindsay" has manifested in the form of a potential starring role in the remake of a 1980s cult not-so-classic. But before congratulating the 15-year old by sending over a giant supply of cokepants and nail polish to Casa Lohan, we're forced to rain on this pitiful parade by informing you which movie Ali's Big Break will be in: the remake of Troll. Why this is quite possibly the worst idea in the history of ideas, after the jump.
Let's begin by noting that Troll, the 1986 low-budget comedy/horror flick, was named as one of the 50 Worst Movies Ever Made in a documentary film of the same name. Of course, the doc was made in 2004, so it's quite possible I Know Who Killed Me might have bumped it off the list were it released beforehand. Moving on! Among the myriad reasons why the Rosemary's Baby-meets-The Exorcist-meets-Chuckie caper was a horrendous hack job unworthy of its two sequels or any kind of remake whatsoever, is this bit of trivia: a young male character in the film is named Harry Potter Jr., and due to the presence of a young male character with the same name in JK Rowling's bank-breaking series and films, original Troll writer/director John Carl Buechler is of the opinion that he invented "the original Harry Potter."
So what joy awaits us should Ali nail the role? For those of you who haven't weeped through a viewing of this Dark Crystal wannabe, Torak the Troll is a funny-looking little demon thing who possesses inhabitants of an apartment building, infusing them with the spirits of things like goblins and bugbears, trapping them in coffins and unleashing murderous bat monsters, his version of Judge Doom's "Dip." But the far-from-funny dialogue and moldy amateur filming led to its rep as an all-time worst of the worst. Little Ali, should she be lucky enough to play Torak's beloved ex-wife Eunice, will be making her big screen debut as a witch whose heart belongs to one of the most despised and ignored horror villains in movie history. We can just hear Dina's overly-tight jeans snapping in half as she high-kicks her way into an adrenaline rush higher than any Lindsay has ever experienced. Bravo.

And Dina's dream of a film career comes true when she is given the role of Swamp Thing.

Why not start things off with a big, stomach-churning, bang and star in a remake of Nekromantik. Instant notoriety, just like big sis, in a movie with a huge cult following, and, get this, you get to have sex with corpses. I think even minors can have sex with corpses. Can't they? (Jorge, bring me my Evian and my blackberry, I'm back in show business!)
Boy, here I go giving career advice to the D-list again.

You know how people always comment: "That made me spit my (insert name of liquid beverage) all over my monitor?" Well, this post busted my tea-spewing cherry!
I'm thinking I should just clear my desk out and turn in my employee badge now...

well, at least this gives her the chance to also be in the remake of Troll 2. Troll 2 was way worse. Um, I've heard...

Why can't Ali star in Leprechaun 2, after the original that launched a young Jennifer Aniston into superstardom?

Wonder how much of her kids money Dina will have to use to "help" finance this thing?

@WGARefugee: Nekromantic requires a real actress to tackle the subject matter. I'm thinking Ellen Page or Dakota Fanning. And just remember, you were the one that mentioned minors first.

Are you sure she's not up for the part of the troll? She's got the voice, and sadly, the face, down pat.

Not to be overly pedantic here, but Troll 2 is worse than Troll by far!

I... liked Troll? Nah, it was probably just dreamy Noah Hathaway.
And IMDB says Noah is playing Turok? Ali Lohan possibly gets to kiss Atreyu? Bitch!
