Jeremy Piven isn't the only one who can blow off a production and piss off some very powerful entertainment types. For instance Sienna Miller was up till recently involved in yet another retelling of the Robin Hood tale. She was working with Russell Crowe and director Ridley Scott. What could anyone say about Robin Hood that hasn't already been said 5000 times? Well Scott has found a new spin on the old tale. He's cast Crowe as both Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham! Also he's made Robin Hood the villain in the piece, and the Sheriff the hero. Since both characters are in love with Miller as Maid Marion, this project was a very biog deal for her! So naturally everyone was surprised when it was announced that Sienna had left the project. After a year or so of bad press, and graffiti, she really needed this! There was an explanation - an unnamed source claimed that the reason Miller had left was because Crowe hadn't taken off the Body of Lies weight. So any loves scenes between him and Sienna would've been laughable. He just wasn't beautiful enough to work with a girl like that!
No one believed that for a second. For one thing the explanation put Miller in such a positive light that people assumed the source was one of her friends. Two - she's been seen with worse! So what went wrong. Well sure enough, after a story that slammed the production as 'troubled', and Crowe as a fat ass who was secretly trying to get his pal Ridley Scott replaced as director (in addition to insisting on half the script being rewritten), the other show dropped. Another story got leaked to the media that Sienna was fired for being an unreliable drunken slut who who was either too hung over or soused to get her work done. Now that was much more believable!
Still suspicious types - bloggers mostly - thought that there might be even more to the story. More, like Sienna - who always tries to sleep with her co stars, might've put the move son Russy. Now Russell is shit terrified of his wife. He once tossed a phone at a NYC hotel desk clerk when his bedroom phone wouldn't work and his 'curfew' was running out. So had Ms Miller come on to him, he might've been motivated to cut her loose from the production. Sienna has a long track record of ruining careers and marriages (she even did a number on Jude Law's hairline!); and Russ doesn't need that kind of bad news going back to New Zealand by way of the tabs. So Sienna got pissy and said some stuff by way of a third party. Drawing Crowe's appearance into it seems like the response of a spurned woman. Claiming that Crowe was trying to get Scott fired sounds like a clumsy attempt to drive a wedge between to good friends with an excellent working relationship. Was she really so stupid as to drag Scott into it and suggest that the project was troubled, then her career might not last much longer. You just don't screw around with directors, they're one or two steps up on the Hollywood food chain!
