When Lionsgate picked up the remake of a 2009 French Film entitled LOL, starring Demi Moore, Miley Cyrus, Ashley Greene, and Adam Sevani, most people probably thought nothing of it. The fact that such big stars participated in something filmed as independent is pretty big news in the world of acting and film making. Moore and Cyrus claimed in numerous interviews that the film is "indie," saying it's nice to have more "freedom" in filming.
While I'm sure none of these actors worked for free, the way in which LOL was produced is a testament to love of art, minus the dollar signs, since LOL was filmed without having secured commercial backing. With these big names it would be surprising if LOL wasn't picked up, however, this business IS unpredictable. No exact release date has been set yet for LOL, but it may just start a Hollywood trend in no strings attached film making.
