Lindsay Lohan might get the chance to get her Hollywood career back on track after all.

The Mean Girls actress — who turned down the chance to appear in summer box office smash The Hangover –  has been offered a part in director Robert Rodriguez‘s new movie Machete.

“These things come together very quickly,” Rodriguez said. “We’re casting right now, and the script just came out great.”

Danny Trejo and Michelle Rodriguez have already signed up to appear in the flick, which is about a “set-up, double-crossed and left for dead” illegal immigrant who “knows the score, gets the women… and kills the bad guys!”

A three-minute trailer of the film was recently released, and Rodriguez said he was happy with the way it had been received. “I was thinking it had to live up to the trailer, because the trailer was so well received,” he said. “But [the script] far surpassed the trailer.”

“We’ve cast nobody but Danny and Michelle Rodriguez, but we’ve sent the script out to a lot of people,’ the director added. “There are a lot of people we’re sending it to, big names — but nobody that we’ve signed yet.

“There’s actually a cool part in the movie for Lindsay — if she takes it.”
