SIENNA MILLER: NEW JIHADIST TARGET?

A bit of noteworthy showbiz news (hat tip: Ace):

Sienna Miller has been granted high security protection on the set of her new movie Interview, amid fears she may be targeted by Islamic extremists.

The film is a remake of Theo van Gogh’s 2003 thriller and a tribute to Van Gogh, who was murdered by Mohammed Bouyeri in 2004 after his controversial film Submission sparked anger among the Muslim community.

Although Interview has no connection to Islam, there are concerns the association with Van Gogh will trigger another outcry.

A member of the production team says: “We are very much aware that it requires a high level of security.

“We will ensure Sienna and her co-star Steve Buscemi are given the sort of protection that this project requires.”

Pieter Dorsman via Pajamas Media:

Moviestars and crews these days always have the benefit of some sort of security detail so I do not think we should be making too big a deal out of this. However, if the eventual release of this production is accompanied by an intense media focus on the maker of the original and his unorthodox views - which by the way will serve as an eyeopener for Hollywood - then it may well attract some hostile reactions.
