The film’s producer, Brad Wyman of Junction Films, confirmed the casting — “Yes, I am doing it with Lindsay.”

E! News Online reports,

A source familiar with the deal says that despite the fact that Lohan has had some recent brushes with the law and just completed rehab, “the production company is insuring her for the film.”

Shooting Manson Girls Lohan will shoot the offbeat comedy Ye Olde Times with Jack Black and David Arquette this spring. That film is due out in 2009.

Pitman grew up in wealthy household in Malibu, and at 16 she was introduced to Manson by a friend, according to published reports. She fell under his spell, moving in with him and becoming one of his most ardent followers. She was home with Manson on the night he dispatched members of his “Family” to the former home of ex-business associate Terry Melcher, where they ended up brutally killing actress Sharon Tate and four others.

Pitman, aka Brenda McCann, later became involved with the Aryan Brotherhood and served 18 months in prison after being convicted of being an accessory after the fact to murder. She later married one of her coconspirators, divorced and moved to Oregon with her two children.

When will Lindsay get it in her head — she’s not an actress. It’s beyond creepy she even wants to do this film. Charles Manson is just not right, not right at all.

What others said:

Defamer says, “So invested is the actress in getting the details just right, expect to see her on red carpets and at area hot spots in the coming weeks sporting styles from the period, with the word “PIG” smeared across her forehead in what we hope will only be pig’s blood.
