the costumes look really cheap, that was my first thought on it....
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!

POP IDOL IN 'FACTORY,' EDIE'S BACK AS STAR OF FASHION
By SERENA FRENCH Post fashion editor
Sienna Miller, as Edie Sedgwick, filming "Factory Girl" in Central Park. She wears a vintage fur coat and ocelot hat; an original Rudi Gernreich navy and red dress; and gold earrings were provided by H.Stern. Many of the outfits are exact re-creations of those worn by the real Sedgwick.

November 28, 2006 -- SHE was the first "It" girl of modern pop culture: to be famous seemingly for nothing. Edie Sedgwick became the toast of New York as the jewel of Andy Warhol's Factory scene and died of a drug overdose in California at age 28. Her life symbolized the arc of the '60s, and her status as an underground fashion icon remains unchallenged.
Now current fashion "It" girl Sienna Miller is bringing her back, starring as Sedgwick in the biopic "Factory Girl." Miller filmed some additional scenes around Manhattan last week.
"She invented the persona of the 'Poor Little Rich Girl,' " says Melissa Painter, co-author of the just-released "Edie: Girl on Fire," a book written with David Weisman, who spent five years with Edie filming the cult hit "Ciao! Manhattan."
"She was acting out the rebellion of a generation against their parents, and in her case that was an upper-class family. A lot of the battle with her family was fought over finances. Her point was, 'I'm not getting enough money from you? Fine. I'm not going to wear any pants.'"
Sedgwick first stepped into the mainstream in Life magazine as "the Girl in Black Tights." She trained in modern dance and part of her style repertoire included those black opaque tights with metallic dresses and strappy high heels; striped tops with fishnet stockings (and no bottoms); and dramatic chandelier earrings. Her Egyptian makeup took hours to apply - as anyone who waited for her to get ready to go out to Max's knew well.
"It was the act of a performance artist to step out in the world like that," says Painter. "In fact there are funny tapes from the Warhol Museum where Andy is talking about how Edie almost got arrested for what she was wearing. She was stopped by police because, at a distance, they thought she might be a drag queen. I think it's hard for people, given where fashion has gone since then, to realize what a step it was, how shocking it was."
For John Dunn, who is best known for his costume work on "The Notorious Bettie Page" and "Casino," "Factory Girl" was a dream come true.
"We look at it now, and it doesn't seem quite as radical, but for someone to be running around in a boy's T-shirt and tights, going to high fashion places and fashionable restaurants, was pretty shocking at the time, and she pulled it off with such style," Dunn says. "She was such an individual, in a way that nobody had ever seen before. It was really groundbreaking. And there wasn't a designer behind it saying, 'Here put this on.' She was the factory creating this fashion look."
"Ciao! Manhattan" is the basis for several scenes and documents her in a leopard coat. "The coats she wears are ones she grabbed from her grandmother's closet and wore them in ways that nobody else would."
Some pieces in the film are by Betsey Johnson, who designed clothes for Warhol and Edie and The Velvet Underground, and for whom Edie was a fit model.
"I knew Edie by day and at Max's by night," Johnson says. "I was designing for Paraphenalia at the time, and it was 1965. My body type was not suitable for the 1960s, and I needed a fitting model with that perfectly boyish body type, and Edie had it. She would just hop over to my railroad five-story walk-up apartment and fit the clothes for me. I paid her in clothes and money. She was a sweet simple girl. I don't know the other sides of Edie. I know the sweet, wide-eyed, enthusiastic Edie."
"She was famous mostly for how she walked into a room," Painter says. "It had a lot to do with the power of her charisma, but it had a lot do with this performance she was putting on. She was really a risk taker, she was daring. She was authentic."

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?

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.....

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.

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!Liberty Bell

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.
