Sienna Miller is ’Factory Girl’
Sienna Miller, who stars opposite Jude Law in the upcoming “Alfie” remake, is in discussions to play Edie Sedgwick, a ’60s icon and one of Andy Warhol’s muses, in the indie feature “Factory Girl”.
The independent film revolves around an unconventional love triangle of sorts that developed among Sedgwick, Bob Dylan and Warhol. Sedgwick played a key role in Andy Warhol’s Factory, an art studio/crash pad that became a home for Warhol’s collection of self-proclaimed superstars. She starred in several Warhol films, including “Vinyl”, “Space”, “Chelsea Girls” and “Ciao Manhattan”. At least two of Dylan’s songs, including “Just Like a Woman”, are believed to have been written about her.
Sedgwick died in 1971 of acute barbiturate poisoning.
The film will be directed by George Hickenlooper, whose recent credits include the documentary “The Mayor of Sunset Strip” and the drama “The Man From Elysian Fields”.
Miller is currently filming “Casanova” in which she stars opposite Heath Ledger.
