Lindsay Lohan has landed a major movie role.

The 'Mean Girls' actress will head the cast of comedy 'The Other Side' in her first big-screen outing since 2007's flop 'I Know Who Killed Me'.

Commenting on her casting, the film's director David Michaels said: "Lindsay's very aware of people's perceptions of her. She's really committed to doing what she has to in order to change that."

Woody Harrelson, Alanis Morissette, Dave Matthews and Giovanni Ribisi have also signed on for the film, which focuses on a student who spends her summer working on a remote island populated by bizarre residents trying to protect a tragic secret.

Lindsay recently complained the coverage her personal life receives is preventing her from landing movie roles.

She said: "When I was a kid, I thought movie stars were people who wanted to act in great movies. It's all I ever wanted to do, but I've become this girl who's seen as someone who parties, who wants to be photographed all the time, isn't focused and can't be on time. That's not true. There are other actresses my age, like Scarlett Johansson, who work hard but so do I and I don't get the same opportunities."
