Lindsay Lohan 'a trouper' about explicit new movie

Lindsay Lohan had no problem with the hardcore sexuality in her new film The Canyons, according to screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis.

The actress stars in director Paul Schrader's highly erotic thriller The Canyons opposite adult film actor James Deen.

The controversial noir picture features Lohan in the nude often and she was involved in fully naked four-way sex scene with Deen in the picture.

The Canyons screenwriter Bret Easton Ellis claims Lindsay was aware of the explicit nature of the movie from the outset.

However the American Psycho author does admit she found performing some of the lewd acts a challenge.

"Well look, everyone has a contract where they specify what they are comfortable with and what they are not comfortable with," Ellis told MTV News.

"So her contract was gone through quite carefully. Signing on for that role she completely knew that that was going to be part of it, and I think the first discussion with Lindsay was about the nudity and the film's sexuality and she had no problem with it. She said 'Let's do it.' And then of course I guess she got cold feet at the foursome scene. But what can I say? She was a trouper."

In 2012 Lohan sent Ellis into a fury after she apparently flaked on an important "looping" session for the film.

The Canyons is currently in US theatres and Lohan is getting straight back to work after ending her three-month stint in court-ordered rehab on July 30.

She is guest hosting Chelsea Handler's talk show Chelsea Lately on Monday and will also do a post-treatment interview with Oprah Winfrey along with an eight-part documentary for the OWN Network.
