Sienna to play Marilyn

Sienna Wins role of Marilyn

Something Awful is reporting that a script about Marilyn Monroe's personal and public life biopic has been picked up by a private production. Sienna Miller, ex-girlfriend of Jude Law and, come fall 2006, playing Andy Warhol's muse Edie Sedgwick, has beat out several other top Hollywood players for the vital role of the doomed beauty.

Production is to begin in December 2006.

This cannot be true. It's a major WTF moment in our life.

Come on! Marilyn was the essence of feminity! Sienna is as feminine as a baseball bat!

I'd love to know who those "several other top Hollywood players" were but never the less, I'm shocked. It's even too absurd for just a rumour. Hope it won't come true. Imagine Sienna wearing platinum locks and doing Marilyn for another six months after the filming. Please, no!

yes please no your right.

Marilyn Monroe was a size 16....that's fact. Sienna is not...that's fact. Marilyn Monroe was known for voluptoius curves...Sienna Miller is not. If this goes through, then it's telling of Hollywood tendancy to erase non-anorexic looking women from history.

if she manages to be a convincing marilyn i would be impressed. but i don't believe it will come to this.

AND i want scarlet johansson's comment on this. now.

^lol, or Lindsay Lohan's. She's like, OBSESSED with her.

Charlize Theron would make a great Marilyn - check out these picks of her dressed up as MM:

Yup! It bothers me when people do not acknowledge this too. A 16 back then is A LOT smaller than a 16 today thats for damn sure.

As for Sienna playing Marilyn, there's no way it will ever happen.

I'm more concerned with the influx of all these biopics - where have original screenplays gone?????

I mean, ppl who knew Marilyn are still alive and why must they be subjected to some flawed depiction of her??? It's like Gwyneth Paltrow in Sylvia.....Sylvia Plath's real daughter thought the movie really warped the image of her mother. It's just an insult really isn't it.

I agree Susie - it's just a reflection of how desperate and unoriginal Hollywood have begun. The creative spark is lost. They see one bipoic works, and they're all like a bunch of lemmings , frothing at the mouth, ready to make another one.

In re to Sienna getting the role - I highly doubt it. There will be many actresses of higher stock going for this role, plus I wouldn't be suprised if it goes to a virtual unknown. I don't believe Sienna has plausibility to pull that many roles off seeing as she has more prominence as a general tabloid darling.

I think Sienna and Gwynnie are both great examples of how obscure and average actresses can become big in Hollywood: date a famous good looking actor. It actually beggars belief just how huge Sienna has become. It's almost like: Jude who?

^At least Gwyneth can act.....
I agree Roppal.
Sienna has yet to prove herself as a credible actress and already she's being thrusted into these high profile roles - for some actresses, it takes yrs of carefully built up resumes! And why? Because she inspired girls to wear boho skirts for one summer.....
