WATCH: Lindsay Lohan as Elizabeth Taylor in the new Liz & Dick trailer

Lindsay Lohan appears in the promotional video as the arrestingly beautiful and notoriously dramatic actress

Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to drama, which is no doubt why she’s taken on the role of playing Elizabeth Taylor in an upcoming biopic about her life. But even her latest brush with the law, where she was arrested over a suspected hit and run, has failed to eclipse Li-Lo's return to acting.

In a new trailer for the upcoming TV film, Liz & Dick, the former-child star is seen expressing an array of emotions from tears to tantrums, and there’s certainly a lot of passion going on.

During one of the more dramatic scenes, Lindsay hurls a bottle of champagne across the room that then smashes on the wall, before we see her loved up with Grant Bowler who plays Richard Burton.

The fashion is only hinted at in the trailer, but there is an abundance of red dresses as well as a striking straw sun hat complete with green trim and matching winged shades. Of course it wouldn’t be Elizabeth Taylor if she wasn’t dripping in diamonds with her trademark rouge lip – both of which are present throughout.

Lindsay’s acting efforts show her sniffling, shouting and smouldering while the camera watches.

With the opening titles reading: 'infamous, scandalous, dangerous, controversial, provocative, scandal, love affair, diamonds, paparazzi,' the film has a lot to live up to. We hope it does just that.
