AceShowbiz - It has a burning question for fans whether or not Lindsay Lohan will star in "Life-Size 2", the sequel of the 2000 TV film. Much to disappointment, it seems like the actress won't reprise her role as Casey Stuart. However, co-star Tyra Banks reveals that she'll likely make an appearance.
"You're going to have to see 'Life Size', to see what Lindsay does," Tyra reveals during an interview at the "America's Got Talent" finale," the model teased. "It's an interesting creative way that my producers have Lindsay involved."
When asked if the two stars have kept in contact since starring in the Disney Channel movie, Tyra said, "I talked on the phone with Lindsay a couple of months ago. I am proud of her. She is actually creating this like club dynasty!"
She went on saying that Lindsay wasn't able to star in the upcoming sequel due to scheduling conflicts. "She has this new TV show on MTV about this club so she couldn't make it, which was sad," Tyra shared. "[Lindsay] will be in the movie in some kind of way. We'll see where that ends up."
"I actually think we are going to surpass expectations because [for] me as a producer and actor in it, it surpassed my own expectations," Tyra explained.
Lindsay is set to launch her MTV show which working title is "Lohan Beach Club". "The exclusive seaside destination will serve as a backdrop for the series, and features luxury spa amenities, a renowned restaurant and a transformative day and nightclub poised to redefine the Mykonos experience," MTV said of the show that will arrive sometime in 2019.
"Life-Size" premiered in 2000 and starred a fresh-faced Lindsay Lohan as Casey Stuart, a young girl who accidentally transforms her doll Eve (Tyra) into the perfect living woman. Mark Rosman directed the TV movie.
The sequel, meanwhile, will star "Grown-ish" actress Francia Raisa. Tyra said that she's having fun with her new co-star as they "went to a spa together before we started shooting." She added, "That girl can act, it's in her eyes."
Francia is tapped to play the CEO of the company that manufactured the Eve doll. "Life-Size 2" is slated to premiere on Freeform in December to celebrate its "25 Days of Christmas" event,
