Lindsay Lohan has been writing scripts

Lindsay Lohan has been busy!

The Mean Girls star has apparently been using her enforced free time to develop self-made movie opportunities.

“Lindsay has been writing and developing a script based on her experience under house arrest,” reports a friend of the star.

“It’s horror movie involving a girl in very much the same situation as her. She plans to finish the script and maybe star in and direct the movie herself. She’s very excited about it.”

Lohan recently opened up about what it’s like to be locked up in her own home.

“I’m a very social person, and I like being outside, especially in Venice Beach. I’d like to get out more just going out and having dinner,” she said.

“I was really upset not being able to go to my little brother’s birthday party. He just turned 16. That bummed me out.

“I’ve been having a lot of work-related meetings. Sometimes my friends come over. And I get to see my sister, Ali, which is nice.

“When my friends come over, they’re not drinking. Alcohol is not in my house, so it’s just not a part of my life.” But when Lindsay is released on June 29, it won’t necessarily mean the end of nightclubs for her. “I don’t think you should ever say never.

“This may come as a shock, but I mean it: I want to start my community service. I want to finish that so I can work in August and September.

“You go through experiences. I do understand that I need to gain some of the respect back, but I’m willing to work hard for that. I understand the situations I’ve put myself in, and I don’t want to go back to that.”
