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.)
