I haven't kept up on Lindsay Lohan after her various legal problems were publicized, but as of a decade or so ago she looked and sounded like a highly tenured chain-smoking cocktail waitress in Reno.

Not a highly tenured Las Vegas cocktail waitress, but a highly tenured Reno cocktail waitress.. There's a huge difference.

What has Ms. Lohan been up to lately? And what role will she play in this movie, if a gruff lady butcher or a highly tenured Reno cocktail waitress isn't in the plot?

She reprises the same role she played in the 2003 remake. The character was an aspiring musician, so would assume it would continue that.

Imagine if 20 years ago you were told they were making a sequel to this film and JLC would be the bigger draw.

Because Lohan was an undeniable movie star and poised to be The Next Big Thing in 2003. Curtis was coming off back to back bombs with the Tailor of Panama and a terrible Halloween sequel.

He work in recent years has been fantastic. She stole the show in both Knives Out and Everything. But it is an unpredictable career trajectory, especially given where things were in 2003 (my point).
