    Nick Cassavetes Whacked from Gotti Biopic

    DateTue, April 19, 2011

    This must be an independent production. How else could they explain why anyone would make the effort to hire Lindsey Lohan?

    But while LiLo's casting appears to be for real (until the inevitable "They fired her uninsurable/trouble-making ass" story breaks), someone who we know for certain won't be around when cameras roll is its director.

    Variety reports Nick Cassavetes (although Black Film got this out there first if memory serves me correct – so I'll credit both outlets) has vacated from helming Gotti: Three Generations.

    The age-old, and eternally questionable, "scheduling conflicts" issue is the official reasoning here. Cassavetes is pre-committed to another indie drama, Yellow. Curious what’s the real culprit behind this one?

    Ah well, at least he still has that Hangover Part II gig.
