Sienna Miller will be shooting her new film, an adaptation of a Jane Austen short novel in Dublin later in the summer, according to American filmmaker Whit Stillman.
Stillman whose films include the Academy award-nominated Metropolitan and The Last Days of Disco is adapting the story for screen with the provisional title Love and Friendship.
Speaking to The Green Room, the director says he hopes Chloe Sevigny will play the second lead.
Sevigny, who starred in The Last Days of Disco, also plays the lead in Stillman’s new TV show The Cosmopolitans which is to set to air in the autumn.
The filmmaker is coming to Ireland next weekend for the John Ford Symposium held annually in Dublin.
John Wayne’s children (Marissa and Ethan Wayne ) will be special guests at the opening night of the event along with John Ford’s grandson, Dan Ford.
