Roger Durling's Santa Barbara Film Festival (1.25 thru 2.4) has lined up Factory Girl as its gala opening night attraction, with Sienna Miller, director George Hickenlooper and costars Guy Pearce and Hayden Christensen expected to attend. (It would be extra-neat if Bob Dylan were to show up also, but that's on the doubtful side.) This in addition to Helen Mirren Will Smith, Forest Whitaker and An Inconvenient Truth's Al Gore and David Guggenheim lined up for special tributes. (Note: THE SBFF website was posting the dates for the '06 festival until yesterday, hence HE's error in passing along same.)

Why do we read about this movie on this site but nowhere else, daily?

Wells to jeffmcm: The SB Film Festival is a major fest that yesterday annnounced the booking of "Factory Girl" as the opener. What do you want me to do, ignore this because you don't like hearing about this film?

Please keep updating about Factory Girl. I'm very interested in this movie and hope it makes it to theaters as scheduled. Daily and twice daily info wouldn't bother me a bit.
Thanks for the news and your comments. I just had to register to let you know with my first post that I read HE every day and your updates for Factory Girl and news in general is very much appreciated.
