The producer of Lindsay Lohan's next movie project, Inferno, is taking issue with a report that he and his co-producer are "beyond irritable" with the actress's setback regarding her drug test, though he is adapting a "wait-and-see" attitude regarding how the film will progress.
But he does stand behind his star.
"The only producers in question would be Jordan Gertner or myself, and we are not expressing irritation, nor ' beyond irritated' to anyone – that is not to say we would not be upset over a breach of the court by Lindsay that has affected her personally, or the potential production schedule or location of the production significantly," producer Chris Hanley tells PEOPLE.
He added, "We are way not happy to not be making this movie this year as planned, and if the ability to shoot in a film incentive program state is not available due to travel limitation placed on Lindsay, that would be a concern, but that cannot be addressed until it is known."
As for the movie, which is a biopic about the victimized porn star Linda Lovelace, Hanley also said, "We do believe that Lindsay's talent does weigh very heavily in this matter. Addictive personality disorder issues are pervasive in the film industry. I have worked with Robert Downey and others on movies I have made, and, frankly, talent and passion for a project matter the most to me."
