Chapter 27: Jared Leto and Lindsay Lohan in a film about John Lennon’s death – does this have recipe for disaster written all over it or what? Playing the deranged Mark David Chapman, the nutjob that assassinated the Beatles legend, Leto gained so much weight for the role (60lbs) he gave himself a case of gout. Ok, despite being an uber-asshat and frontman of the wretched 30 Seconds to Mars, Leto has done some solid work on screen (“Requiem For A Dream,” “Fight Club”), but it’s been a while since he’s done something substantial enough to erase the memory of his abject eye-liner’d day job. It’s also taken this film a shitload of time to get into theaters – it premiered at Sundance ’07 and then leaked online in March – which is never a good sign, nor is it good for business. We’re still mildly curious. Trailer.
