Lindsay hinted at what might come next, saying: ‘I am eager to discover a dark comedy similar to Mean Girls—a substantial, quality, humorous film—smart and comedic.’

‘It’s not a romantic comedy; it’s simply a genuinely amusing film. I’m thrilled about taking part in this drama. Collaborating with some of my dream directors would be fantastic.’

She mentioned Quentin Tarantino, Julianne Moore, Robert De Niro, and Al Pacino as individuals she’d like to work alongside, indicating that she might appear in something ‘Sopranos-esque,’ considering her Italian heritage.
