LOS ANGELES, California (X17online) - Lindsay Lohan will begin shooting the new film Labor Pains on June 9 in Burbank, California, according to Variety. The film is a romantic comedy in which the starlet will play a publishing house assistant who pretends to be pregnant to avoid getting fired by an overbearing and wicked boss.

Producer Rick Schwartz said, "I didn't know Lindsay before this, but we looked each other in the eye three months ago, and she has done everything I could have asked." Schwartz also helped produce The Departed and The Aviator.

Lohan apparently loves the script, as she recently said, "It is a very different role for me and I look forward to the challenges it will present, and I love working on comedies."
