LOS ANGELES—Lindsay Lohan is joining the cast of “Bobby,” an indie film about the assassination of Robert F. Kennedy, which Emilio Estevez wrote and is directing. Anthony Hopkins, Demi Moore, Sharon Stone, Elijah Wood, Nick Cannon and Freddy Rodriguez already are cast in the film, which is set to go into production next week in Los Angeles. Estevez also has a role.
The ensemble film mixes fact and fiction to chronicle the intertwining lives of a grand cast of characters present at Los Angeles’ Ambassador Hotel in the hours leading up to Kennedy’s 1968 assassination. Lohan plays a woman who marries her boyfriend’s brother (Wood) to keep him from going to Vietnam, only to fall in love with him. “Lindsay, who you do not think of as an indie film actress, is an inspired choice and is the heart of the movie,” said Edward Bass, who is producing the under-$10 million movie.
