Lindsay Lohan and Keira Knightley will be competing for the same lead role in 'Wuthering Heights'. This role is about heroine Catherine Earnshaw whichiis based on the classic 1847 novel of Emily Bronte.

Director John Maybury said: "I certainly wouldn't count Keira out but it's whether or not she wants to get back into period costume, because she's been in a few period dramas.

"I don't count Lindsay Lohan out either. I really believe in the girl and she's coming out from the other side of her well documented problems - she just needs to be treated seriously."

Lindsay's non British nationality will have some criticism.

Maybury added to Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "It can be slightly annoying having American actresses in British parts. They may be able to do brilliant British accents but that can be off putting if their accent is too perfect."
