Sienna Miller ("Casanova", "Alfie") has signed to star opposite Steve Buscemi in "Interview," one of a trio of pics by late Dutch filmmaker Theo van Gogh being remade by directors Buscemi, Stanley Tucci and Bob Balaban. Pics will be shot back to back in New York beginning next month reports Variety.
"Interview," helmed by Buscemi, follows a top political journo whose career is fading. First, he has a falling out with his editor, and then, against his will, he has to interview the country's most popular soap actress.
Tony Shalhoub and Patricia Clarkson have also come aboard to star in a remake of the van Gogh pic "Blind Date." "Date," helmed by Tucci, centers on parents who have lost a child and then reinvent themselves as they try to rebuild their relationship.
Casting on Balaban's adaptation, "06/05: The Sixth of May," has not yet been set. Ironworks topper Bruce Weiss and Column's Gijs van de Westelaken had been working with van Gogh to remake several films in English before the helmer was murdered in Amsterdam last year.
