Quentin Tarantino is reportedly keen to work with Lindsay Lohan

Despite being praised for her role in 2004 movie Mean Girls, Lindsay has become more known for her tumultuous private life than her acting prowess in recent years. She has hit the headlines due to her rocky romance with DJ Samantha Ronson, penchant for wild partying and her reputation for being late to sets.

Lindsay has continually denied the claims, insisting the vast majority of rumours about her are baseless. She has previously insisted comments about her work ethic have harmed her career as movie bosses no longer want to work with her.

Quentin is adamant Lindsay just needs the right part to get back on track, and thinks he has found it for her. "Lindsay is just the kind of character Quentin loves," a source explained. "No one expects her to do anything significant on film ever again but he has at least one role he feels she would be perfect for. It`s a shocking, hardcore character but it will put her back on the map."

Quentin?s decision to cast John Travolta in his 1994 movie Pulp Fiction saw the actor emerge from years of career wilderness, and is widely regarded as the reason he has gone on to win so many starring parts.
