Director Matthew Wilder tells E!, "We are withdrawing our offer from Lindsay Lohan. We have stuck by Lindsay very patiently for a long time with a lot of love and support. Ultimately, the impossibility of insuring her—and some other issues—have made it impossible for us to go forward."

Still no actress popped up to replace Lindsay Lohan.

"We are currently in negotiations [with another actress] and working out the legalities of bringing her onboard."
