Last week, Lindsay Lohan crashed a NYC press conference announcement of a new biopic titled Gotti: Three Generations in the hopes of nabbing the role of Victoria Gotti in the film. It turns out that negotiations for Lindsay to appear in the film fell apart and she was offered no role at all. Lindsay went back to the production company and begged for a role and ended up getting the minor role of John Gotti Jr.‘s daughter-in-law Kim. The up-side is that Lindsay got a job, yay! The down-side, the job is a minor one that prolly won’t be winning her any awards.

First, her hopes of playing Linda Lovelace in the Inferno biopic were extinguished. Now, Lindsay Lohan can say fugetaboutit to a role as Victoria Gotti in Gotti: Three Generations, starring John Travolta. Despite looking remarkably like the crime family daughter — and attending a press conference detailing the project last week — Lohan is no longer in talks to appear in the film, a rep for Gotti confirms to EW. Though no reasons were given as to why Lohan and Gotti parted ways, producer Marc Fiore told People that her possible trial for grand theft felony has no bearing on the falling out: “We just couldn’t reach terms … We are going to meet with other people [for the role].”

TMZ has learned … Lindsay Lohan WILL in fact be in the upcoming “Gotti: Three Generations” after she was previously dropped from the film — and she hustled to get her spot back … ALL BY HERSELF. Executive Producer Marc Fiore tells us, Lindsay is no longer going to play Victoria Gotti … but instead will take on the role of John Gotti Jr.’s daughter-in-law Kim — the role once considered for Kim Kardashian. The turn of events comes hours after Fiore pulled the plug on Lindsay over disagreements with her management — but we’re told Lindsay REALLY wants to be in the film … and personally patched things up with the producer when she heard her people were being difficult.

UGH … poor Lindsay has now been reduced to picking up Kim Kardashian‘s scraps? Eek! That is sad. But, a job’s a job … and, as they say, there are no small roles, there are only small actors. Let’s hope that Lindsay‘s prowess in talking people into giving her work will be advantageous to her in the long run. Let’s remember, just because she gets a movie role doesn’t mean it’ll be a success. I wish her all the best, I really do. She has a lot of work ahead of her to convince people that she’s worth watching.

What do y’all think about this? Will Lindsay sink or swim in her new Gotti role?
