I would have never thought these three actresses would belong in the samemovie.  Lindsay Lohan, Desperate Housewives’ star Felicity Huffman, and legend Jane Fondawill soon begin filming the movie “Georgia Rule”:

Movie legend Jane Fonda will return to the screen cast as a grandmotherin a black comedy also featuring teen star Lindsay Lohan and ‘DesperateHousewives’ actress Felicity Huffman, reports said on Thursday.

The 68-year-old Oscar-winner, who made her acting comeback inlast year’s comedy ‘Monster-in-law’ following a 15-year break, willplay the lead in director Garry Marshall’s comedy ‘Georgia Rule’, theindustry press said.

The movie will focus on a rebellious young woman, played byLohan, who is sent by her dysfunctional mother — Huffman —to spend a summer with her grandmother, played by ‘Klute’ and’Barbarella’ star Fonda.

Fonda co-starred with Jennifer Lopez in ‘Monster-in-law’ inwhich she played a jealous and overbearing mother of Lopez’sfiancé.

“This is Garry Marshall’s kind of movie,” said James Robinson,who runs Morgan Creek, the production company making the movie thatwill be distributed by Universal Pictures and is scheduled to beginproduction in August.

“He can deliver the mail with this type of movie,” Robinson told the Hollywood Reporter.

Huffman (43) is best known for her role in the hit televisionseries ‘Desperate Housewives’, but she was nominated for a best actressOscar this year for her role as a transsexual in ‘Transamerica’.
