and i will never understand why they had to pick Sienna for this role, i mean, there are really other good actresses out there worth their money, whereas sienna is just bad. let's face it, this girl is just famous for being famous, but she can't act!

i agree with you at first i was surprised the people in charge choose sienna, but now im am relieved i couldnt belivee how much she looks like her, its breath taking and even the voice.who would you like to have played edie liberty33rlb?

Not as far as I know. I think the costume folks found vintage clothing and created pieces "inspired" by her. This is a low budget film. Can't we tell since the fashion is anything but fashionable???

I just watched the preview for the first time...
I'm not sure about it really.

sienna seems decent, guy pearce seems phenomenal. hayden christensen not so much...

I'll definitely see it, though my expectations are a lot lower than they were when I first heard about it.

It would have been smart to have Betsy Johnson do the clothes. When she talked in the Ciao! Manhattan dvd, she seemed to have a real passion for the clothes of that time and she probably would have done a great job doing the clothes for a movie about Edie! Maybe she just didn't like this movie?

It says right in the article that Betsey Johnson designed some of the clothes in the film. Paragraphs 8 and 9.

I think the costumes just seem weird because 99% of the images from that era are black and white.

Those are just original Betsy Johnson pieces from the 1960's that they are using in the film. Not ones that she made specifically for the movie.

Unfinished Film Has Oscar Written All Over It

OSCAR INC An ad in Tuesday's Variety
Harvey Weinstein is famous for campaigning earlier, harder, and more successfully for Oscars than any of his filmmaking peers. But the "For Your Consideration" ads for Factory Girl that ran this week in Variety and the Hollywood Reporter may represent a new benchmark for claiming award-worthy status for a film that is, to all appearances, still very much in production.
With entire new scenes—not reshoots—still being shot in New York, most critics have still seen only limited footage of the movie, and the window for getting even a rough cut in front of them is rapidly closing. "You'd really better have a screening by the first week of December, or you're risking a lot of critics not being able to see it in time" for Golden Globe nominations, says Anne Thompson, deputy film editor of the Hollywood Reporter.

A spokeswoman for Weinstein, however, notes some critics have already "seen an early cut of the movie and given it high praise, especially Sienna Miller and Guy Pearce's performances. We don't think it's premature to start promoting the film for awards consideration."

Based on the story of Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick, Factory Girl has been dogged by delays and rumors of dissatisfaction on the part of its producers. But Thompson says the ongoing tinkering is not an automatic red flag as long as it is only "pickups" being shot and nothing more substantial. "Harvey knows what he wants, and he'll know what's missing, especially if he's aiming for the Oscars. And the Weinstein Co. has been known to play these things out very late in the day."

I really don't think that this movie will win an Oscar. Edie's story is definetly Oscar worthy but this movie is not! In my opinion.....

outdoorminer · 30-11-2006

Reading the New York article over again I don't think they ment that Betsy designed the clothes - she did for Ciao! Manhattan. Some guy named John did the clothing for Factory Girl.

hahah @ Sienna being nominated

Bless you for this honest thought, BabyDoll!

I completely agree! A postumus Oscar!! Edie would positively swoon, and giggle uncontrollably at all the hubbub!!!! Let's hope that the Warhol Estate and others who are holding footage of Edie's work honor her by releasing DVDs!

Producers Are Reportedly Dissatisfied With "The Factory Girl"

November 3, 2006 5:49 a.m. EST

Maira Oliveira - All Headline News Reporter
Los Angeles, CA (BANG) - Sometimes what a moviemaker had envisioned for his film never comes out as planned and there's nothing the actors can do about it.
Reports say that Sienna Miller's upcoming film "The Factory Girl" may never be released. It has been revealed that the blonde actress was recently called back to re-shoot some scenes for the biopic about Andy Warhol's tragic muse Edie Sedgwick.
Rumors are now rife that the movie could be scrapped altogether because the producers are unhappy with it.
A source said, "The project may be shelved. There are just too many things wrong with it."
There had been Oscar buzz surrounding the 24-year-old for her lead role as Edie in the film, but the movie has not even been included in the list of upcoming films on the Weinstein Company's website.
However, a spokesman for the company claims that this is an "oversight" and insists the film will be screened in New York and Los Angeles by the end of the year to qualify for Oscar consideration.
