Sienna Miller can’t catch a break. Following her “homewrecking” of Balthazar Getty’s marriage, Sienna’s career has taken several major hits, and the girl’s been smacked around in the press for assorted reasons.
First, there were some rumors that Sienna’s part in G.I. Joe was getting dramatically slashed. Then came word that Sienna either got fired or she quit the production of Nottingham, the latest Robin Hood film. After that little incident, there was some back and forth about how “thin” and “young” Sienna looked compared to the bloated and older Russell Crowe, but I’ve always thought that was just Sienna’s publicity team trying to help her save face. After several weeks of back and forth with actresses, it looks like Cate Blanchett got the Maid Marian role, and one of the other actors even commented that Cate would bring some much needed “class” to the production.
Now there’s word from some “sources” that one of the other films Sienna has already filmed, Hippie Hippie Shake, has serious problems. Hippie was due to come out this year, but one source close to the production called the film “unreleasable”. The Telegraph has more:
Since Sienna Miller was dropped last month from Sir Ridley Scott’s forthcoming Robin Hood film, Nottingham, she seems to be on a run of bad luck.
First, the 27-year-old actress was beaten to the role of Hester Worsley in a big-screen adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s A Woman of No Importance by Amanda Seyfried, the star of Mamma Mia!
Now, there is growing speculation about the fate of Hippie Hippie Shake, a comedy drama about the Sixties counterculture magazine Oz in which Sienna stars.
A spokesman for the film, for which no release date has been scheduled, is keen to play down claims that a prominent member of the production team has described it as “unreleasable in its present state”.
The spokesman says: “Someone may have said that, but it is not one of the producers. The film is testing really well.”
From The Sunday Telegraph
I doubt the film is testing that well, but Hippie will still probably be released on schedule. My prediction for the critical and box office reaction: an unequivocal yawn. The knives really are out for Sienna, and it’s not all coming from “insiders” in Hollywood. As the parts keep shrinking, or going to other, better actresses, perhaps Sienna will take a step back and re-evaluate her career. Or maybe she’ll just grab another married man.
