(CBS) Lindsay Lohan has something to look forward to when she gets out of rehab in the fall.

The 24-year-old actress, who just completed a 14-day jail term stemming from two unrelated DUI charges, is set to begin shooting in November on "Inferno," the Linda Lovelace biopic.

Director Matthew Wilder told MTV News that he hasn't spoken with Lohan yet, just with her mother, Dina.

"I don't know if she can talk," Wilder said of the 90-day, court-ordered rehab. "It's one of those things where you can talk to her at certain times and certain times you can't, I don't really know."

Meanwhile he denied all reports that he was considering a switch of stars for the story of Lovelace, the woman who launched the modern porn industry.

"Look, even if Angelina Jolie wanted the role we would still be sticking with Lindsay Lohan, I can't make myself any clearer than that," the filmmaker told RadarOnline.com.

Tyler Shields, the photographer behind "Inferno's" promo shots, released photos this week of the actress in character, some of which were previously seen in movie posters.
