Sienna MillerRelease Date Announced For Factory Girl Starring Sienna MillerParamount Pictures UK and The Weinstein Company have announced that Factory Girl, the highly anticipated film about the life of Edie Sedgwick (Sienna Miller), who was Andy Warhol’s (Guy Pearce) most controversial muse, will be released in cinemas on March 16th, 2007. Factory Girl was shot on location in Louisiana with final filming completed in New York City, where the story is set. The story imaginatively unfolds the comet-like rise and fall of 60s “it girl” Edie Sedgwick, the blazing superstar who came to define both the glamour and the tragedy of our celebrity-obsessed culture. Sedgwick appeared to be the quintessential American princess, with her blue blood, her trust fund and her Harvard education, not to mention her ethereal beauty and vivacious charisma. But she was also a lost and fragile little girl; and when she met up with counter-culture anti-hero Andy Warhol, everything changed. Suddenly, Edie found herself at the center of a Pop Art universe bursting with sex, drugs, style and rock ‘n’ roll - and a mad rush for fame and fabulousness that was destined to spin out of control. Arriving into the chaos of mid-60s New York, Edie (Sienna Miller) is taken under the wing of the famously deadpan artist Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce) who sees in her untamed vulnerability the makings of an irresistible muse. Warhol invites Edie into the wild world of The Factory, a former downtown hat factory he has transformed into a bohemian paradise. Here, a rag-tag mix of musicians, poets, artists, actors and misfits gather to create avant-garde movies during the day and throw glam parties all night long. Edie quickly ascends to become the star of Warhol’s movies, an idol at The Factory and a media darling. She is on top of the world when she falls in love with a larger-than-life rock star (Hayden Christensen), the man known as “the voice of a generation.” But when Edie becomes caught between Warhol’s world of sexy surfaces and her new love, she winds up rejected by both – and once again, set adrift in the modern world. Sienna Miller (Casanova, Alfie, Layer Cake) stars as Edie Sedgwick, with Guy Pearce (Memento, The Proposition) starring as Andy Warhol. Factory Girl also features a stellar support cast including Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Episode II & III) as Billy Quinn, Jimmy Fallon (Fever Pitch) as Chuck Wein, and Mena Suvari (American Beauty) as Richie Berlin. Sienna Miller spotted with P DiddySienna Miller has been spotted with rap star P Diddy in Harry O's nightclub in Park City in Utah, where the Sundance Film Festival is currently being held. The Layer Cake actress was seen "talking intently" to P Diddy, according to the Daily Mail. The rapper was reportedly wearing his trademark jewellery whilst drinking champagne and chatting to Miller. The spotting comes just days after Sienna Miller was forced to deny reports that she and Josh Hartnett were an item - after being seen together in a Hollywood hotel last week. The actress is in Utah promoting her new film, Factory Girl, in which she plays Andy Warhol's muse, Edie Sedgwick.

Could those late-night chat-line ads be telling the truth about beautiful women wanting to hear from you? Maybe if you're the funny-looking guy from Fargo. "It wasn't very cool to be so available, actually," Miller says. "But when they said it's Steve Buscemi I said yes before I read the script. That's how I got involved." Miller was discussing how she signed onto the film at a moderated press conference where she let Buscemi, who also directed the project, do most of the talking. In Interview, based on the late Dutch director Theo Van Gogh's film of the same name, she plays a rising starlet opposite Buscemi's fading political journalist. The titular event unfolds throughout the course of the movie. Parallels between Miller's life and her character's -- Katja is hounded by the press, adored by millions --are obvious, but Buscemi, who previously directed the festival-circuit fave Lonesome Jim, stresses he doesn't see Interview, which he shot in nine days, as a comment on celebrity culture. "That's not what interested me in making the movie ... These people just happened to be an actress and a journalist. But they could be anybody."
