Well, I've tracked down
confirmation on a rumor (yes, I used those two words in the same sentence)
related to Lindsay Lohan's I Know Who Killed Me, through someone who worked on the production.
Before I get to that tidbit (bail now if you don't want to read a potential story spoiler), it's worth mentioning, I guess, that more of
the in-character video blogs on the movie's spin-off site have gone live —
seven more, by my count, as of this afternoon, June 1. They're seemingly ramping up the rate of revelation in the wake of
Lohan's recent DUI arrest, but any malingering sense of ominousness — which I already thought was rather wan — is being squeezed out by
more of the same silly, discursive narration ("Breathing and transforming — solid becoming gas, pain becoming a gift, awareness expanding...")
and the fact that these entries are so breathlessly paced.
Again, to briefly reiterate the film's major apparent story points, Lohan plays a student, Aubrey Fleming, who gets kidnapped and tortured by a killer, then turns up two weeks later claiming to be Dakota Moss, a stripper. Dakota, it seems, is also a bad girl character Aubrey created for a classroom writing assignment, so where does the line of fiction end and reality begin? Blah blah blah...
Well, according to the aforementioned source, Lohan's character loses an arm and a leg. Like, seriously. This tidbit, combined with the trailer and video blog,
seems to point the movie, and its obligatory twist, in one of two directions, one of which is distinctly
Scream-ish (minus that movie's tone, naturally). The other might be slightly more interesting, and generally jibe with
reports of a long-running assembly cut of the movie, but it would have a bit higher degree of difficulty and additionally be much harder to sell in the summer, and certainly now with Lohan's troubles. The script no doubt features copiously interwoven red herrings, so unless more information leaks out, the guessing game continues until the film's release on July 27.
