Sienna Miller to star in Jane Austen film

Actress Sienna Miller will play the lead role in a film adaptation of the Jane Austen novel Lady Susan.

British actress Sienna Miller is stepping back in time to star in a period comedy based on Jane Austen's novel Lady Susan.

The Alfie star has been cast as the leading lady in Love And Friendship, about a scheming widow who embarks on a search for suitable husbands for herself and her daughter.

Chloe Sevigny will co-star in the film, which will be directed by Whit Stillman.

Production on the project is due to begin in the Irish countryside this year.
