U.S.-born actress warned 'she will be sorry' unless she pulls out of film
Sienna Miller
Sienna Miller reportedly feared for her life after getting a flood of death threats from Islamic extremists.
The American-born, British-bred actress best-known for starring in the remake of "Alfie" as well as her engagement to actor Jude Law, is said to have received a torrent of vicious threats from Muslims furious she's starring in "Interview," a remake of director Theo van Gogh's 2003 thriller.
Van Gogh is the Dutch director who was shot and killed in 2004 by an Islamic extremist in connection with his film "Submission: Part I," which was aired on Dutch television in August of that year.
Warning letters have been sent to Sienna, 24, who is currently filming the movie in New York, stating "she will be sorry" unless she pulls out of the project.
"Sienna refuses to give in to these threats. The people behind them represent everything she abhors," a crewmember told Britain's Daily Star. "The film hasn't got anything to do with Islam. But because it's being made as a tribute to Theo, the Islamic fundamentalists have hit the roof."
"She was scared to begin with," the source added. "But her co-star Steve [Buscemi] has been receiving similar letters, so they've been supporting each other and laughing about it."

Mohammed Bouyeri murdered van Gogh in the early morning of Tuesday November 2, 2004, in Amsterdam in front of the Amsterdam East borough office (stadsdeelkantoor) on the corner of the Linnaeusstraat and Tweede Oosterparkstraat streets. He shot him with eight bullets from a HS2000 (a handgun produced in 2000 in Croatia), and Van Gogh died on the spot. Bouyeri slit van Gogh's throat and then stabbed him in the chest. Two knives were left implanted in his torso, one pinning a five-page note to his body. The note (Text) threatened Western governments, Jews and Hirsi Ali (who went into hiding). The note also contains references to the ideologies of the Egyptian organization Takfir wal-Hijra.
The murderer Mohammed Bouyeri, a 26-year-old Dutch citizen, was apprehended by the police after being shot in the leg. Although born in Amsterdam, well-educated and apparently well-integrated, Bouyeri has alleged terrorist ties with the Dutch Hofstad Network. He was also charged with attempted murder of a police officer and bystander, illegal possession of a firearm, and conspiring to murder others, including Hirsi Ali. He was convicted on July 26, 2005 and sentenced to life in prison with no chance of parole.
Until his murder Van Gogh was working on a movie about the assassination of Dutch politician Pim Fortuyn. The film was officially released on the internet on December 15, 2004 and had its cinema premiere on January 30, 2005.
Van Gogh was cremated on November 9, 2004 in Amsterdam. During the memorial service Lou Reed's 'Perfect Day' was played; a pack of cigarettes and a bottle of booze were placed on the coffin.
IF the MSM weren't sooooooo blindly, insanely supportive of the globalists,
they COULD
wage a relentless public media furor ridiculing the Jihadi's et al into wimpy silence or some such by perpetually characterizing their whining and noise making and death threats and violence as 2 year old immature irrational rantings only fit for the funny farm or a very big paddle to the butt or at least terminal standing in the corner with their noses in a circle.
But they won't. The puppet masters have decreed otherwise--the opposite, it seems.
Although I like Sienna, her death would wake up Hollywood to the Muslim threat. As soon as "one of theirs" is attacked, they will band, in lockstep, to protect themselves. ALOT of things would change out there....
Unfortunately not . . .
More likely the the Liberal-Leftwing intelligentzia, in Hollywood, Nuke York City and Europe, would blame us, or all traditional religeons and never mention Islam at all !
That is the type of hypocrisy you get from the Martin Scorseses, the late Susna Sontag's, the Gloria Steinem bitches, the sleazebag Canadians(like Bill Shatner),
etc etc . .
They are cowards that will take out their spite on us, not these Muslim thugs !
TROP alert!!!!
Hollywood will ignore it or condemn "fundamentalism".
L
It appears that the MSM is reporting about 1% of the atrocities committed world wide by islamofascists.
If she stands her ground I vow I will actually go and pay money at the theatre to see the film in support of her taking the moral highground.
Although I like Sienna, her death would wake up Hollywood to the Muslim threat
I can't believe you actually posted this. I would never want one more innocent life to be snuffed out by these bastards no matter what.
What exactly is the constitutional issue?
Will it be reported as a terrorist attack by muslim terrorists...
..or will it be an act of retaliation by a group of "freedom fighters"????
we are likely to know soon, I fear.
How about Michael Moore?
I can't get people I know to even concede that it happened.
:)Easy Does It:)
