Sienna Miller Signs For Other ‘Chef’

Her last role of note was as the much put-upon Tippi Hedren in TV movie The Girl. Yet the big screen hasn’t forgotten about Sienna Miller and she’s added to a burgeoning slate with CHEF. Not the Jon Favreau comedy but a different kettle of fish (which is apparently a top seller in expensive restaurants) from LOCKE and Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight.  Miller’s role isn’t yet known, but she’ll be supporting Bradley Cooper’s temperamental culinary genius in this Paris-set tale. They worked together on Clint Eastwood’s forthcoming AMERICAN SNIPER so obviously there’s more chemistry here than cream in a profiterole.  Omar Sy (JURASSIC WORLD) rounds off the cast and John Wells (AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY) is directing.

Breaking away from the spectre of the phone hacking scandal, Miller will also star in BLACK MASS and is about to film Ben Wheatley’s HIGH RISE.  The story of this second CHEF sounds like a rodent-free version of RATATOUILLE and goes out under The Weinstein Co banner. With Favreau’s movie about to hit cinemas there should be enough time for the edible dust to settle before this latest effort makes it out the kitchen.
