Sienna Miller (The Edge of Love) has signed on to star in indie-drama Just Like A Woman says Deadline.
Miller plays a Chicago housewife who runs off to Las Vegas with her belly-dancing teacher to join a dance competition.
Golshifteh Farahani and Roschdy Zem co-star.
Miller took the role without reading the script just for the opportunity to work with Bouchareb whose Algerian film Above the Law was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar.
Miller said of her future director:
“Rachid is one of the most exciting directors working today [...] He’s one of those people who understand the medium of film in a way that’s not manipulative but that’s honest and raw. As a director he’s capable of anything. The kinds of films he makes are the ones I like to watch.”
Shooting kicks off in New Mexico on June 13th.
