NEW YORK — A New York press conference for John Travolta’s latest project, “Gotti: Three Generations,” had a surprise guest: Lindsay Lohan.

The 24-year-old starlet has been rumored to be up for the role of Victoria Gotti, daughter of the infamous “Dapper Don” John Gotti.

Producer Marc Fiore confirmed today that he’s in talks with Lohan but said nothing had been finalized. He says Lohan is “a terrific actress.”

Lohan has starred in such films as “Mean Girls” and “Freaky Friday.” She has been plagued by legal problems in recent years and is now battling a felony grand theft charge in California over a $2,500 necklace.

Travolta will star as the leader of the legendary Gambino crime family. The biopic is set to begin filming in October and is slated for release in late 2012.
