Sienna Miller fears she got “swept up” in Hollywood at the beginning of her career.

The star’s big break came when she appeared in 2004’s Layer Cake, and she went on to feature in movies including Factory Girl, The Edge of Love and G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra.

Sienna isn’t entirely happy with all the career choices she has made. She worries she didn’t think long term when she first became famous and is pleased she took some time out to reassess her life.

“It’s a weird industry, Hollywood. You have all these people pushing you in all sorts of directions and I think, for a while, I got swept up in trying to play this game. So I didn’t work for a bit, which was really nice, and I was lucky to be able to afford not to have to,” she explained to the British edition of Vogue magazine.

“And since then I’ve made a film with Nick Cassavetes, where I play someone with Tourette’s, and I made a film with Rachid Bouchareb about belly dancing, with a crew of nine of us – stealing locations and getting chased out of places and shooting without permits, complete guerrilla filming. I’ve no idea how it will turn out, but I did it for the experience, and to work with someone I really admire.”

Sienna has been shooting The Girl recently, which is a TV movie about director Alfred Hitchcock and actress Tippi Hendren. She portrays the lead character in Alfred’s 1963 movie The Birds, with the director seeing her as his muse.

Sienna plays Tippi in The Girl, and has been shooting scenes while pregnant with her first child.

“I’ve no idea what I’ve done in terms of this film,” she laughed. “I was working 15 to 16 hour days, with an eight-hour turnaround, which is just knackering. But then again, it’s not as bad as poor Toby [Jones, who stars as Hitchcock]. He’s got that, plus four hours of prosthetics every morning and then an hour to take it off at the end of each day.”

Skip forward to about 2:40 to hear director Nick Cassavetes talk briefly about Yellow:

The first poster for Yellow has turned up online, and it is suitably … yellow! Check it out below, alongside the synopsis for the film. Credit goes to QuietEarth.us for the poster.

And in other news on this movie, it’s production company Muse Productions have recently posted some new-old photos from the set of the movie, including one of Miss Miller. Check them all out here, and the Sienna one can also be seen in our Gallery.

Mary Holmes has a great life. She’s young, beautiful, lives in Los Angeles. She has a good job teaching at a private elementary school and four beautiful children. But things aren’t always what they seem. Mary has problems. She has a difficult time feeling things, and the fact that she eats twenty Vicodin a day doesn’t help.

She sees a psychiatrist for the disconnect daydreams she keeps having, and her younger sister with Tourettes hates her. And when she loses her job for sleeping with one of the fathers on Parent’s night, she decides to go home. And that’s when the fun really starts. The dreams which seemed so random now start to take real shape as we understand where she came from.

From young and in love, drug dealing on the road, to her father’s slow painful death, from questions of love and incest to her older sister’s descent into insanity, the secret that destroyed her entire family reveals itself on her journey back home, along with Mary’s ultimate responsibility for it. Busby Berkeley, Cirque de Soleil, Circus freaks, and human farm animals all make appearances in this hallucinogenic tale of love and comeuppance.

Nick Cassavetes’ dark comedy “Yellow” has been acquired by the newly minted distribution venture between Seven Arts Entertainment and GFM Films.

“Yellow” centers on a young woman who comes to terms with her family’s shadowed past. The ensemble cast features Sienna Miller, Melanie Griffith, Gena Rowlands, Ray Liotta and Heather Wahlquist. The film has completed shooting and is expected to be ready in the spring.

Seven Arts and GFM said they expect the film to premiere at a major film festival next year.

Peter Hoffman of Seven Arts and Michael Ryan of GFM negotiated the terms with Manu Kumaran of Medient for the acquisition of worldwide rights. Jeff Berg of ICM will sell the film for the USA.

I thought it was time to do some searching for any new info on Sienna’s upcoming film projects, and while we don’t have any release dates, we do have some new stuff! Two Jacks, the comedy drama in which Sienna plays Diana, now has an official Twitter, Facebook and Site. They feature lots of new photos, plus the official synopsis, cast & crew info, contact details and more. There’s some pretty good content there, so go have a browse! I’ve added the two stills featuring Sienna to our Gallery.

Yellow also has an official Facebook page although it doesn’t really have much on it yet.

Hopefully we’ll get more info on these films soon! They seem to be putting a fair amount of work into promoting Two Jacks already, so I have hopes for news of a release date soon …

• Two Jacks > Stills x2

IONCinema.com have posted the first stills and synopsis from Yellow! The still featuring Sienna has been added to our Gallery, and you can view the other one, which I think must be of ‘Mary’, at the link I just posted.

The film sounds good, I think! Sienna seems to really like this kind of role, and she always plays them well. Can’t wait to hear and see more about this film.

Mary (Heather Wahlquist) has problems. She has a difficult time feeling things, and swallowing twenty Vicodin a day doesn’t help. She’s seeing a psychiatrist for the disconnect daydreams she keeps having, and her younger sister with Tourette’s hates her. When she loses her job after sleeping with one of the fathers on Parent’s Night, Mary decides to go home. And that’s when the fun really starts. The dreams that seemed so random now start to take real shape as we understand where she came from. From young and in love, to drug dealing on the road, to her father’s slow, painful death, from questions of love and incest to her older sister’s descent into insanity, the secret that destroyed Mary’s entire family reveals itself on her journey back home, along with her ultimate responsibility for it. Busby Berkeley, Cirque du Soleil, sideshow freaks and human livestock all make an appearance in this hallucinogenic tale of love and comeuppance.

I just came across this great video from the set of Yellow, from MUSEProductions, who I believe are the production company for the film.

Also, in the new BBC Breakfast interview (post below this one), Sienna mentions that her character in the film has Tourettes, so that will be interesting to see! She also said she thinks the film will come out this year.

As I mentioned on our Twitter I’ve been having some computer problems for the past few weeks so have been unable to update. I’ve started to catch up now, and today I have a small Gallery update for you:

Sienna was photographed at work on the set of Yellow last month, and photos have been added to the Gallery! I’m excited to see this film and hear more about it – it’s a typically quirky choice from Sienna (she does make great choices!) with an interesting cast.

I’ve also added more photos from the Piaget campaign, as well as new photoshoot taken earlier this year, a scan from a 2008 issue of UK Vogue with a lovely photo of Sienna & Savannah that I’d never seen before.

I’ll start catching up with candid and appearance photos next. I’m also hard at work re-adding/updating our content to give you a new and improved Sienna Online
