Factory girl imaginatively unfolds the comet-like rise and
fall of Edie Sedgwick, the blazing superstar who became a quintessential icon
of American pop culture. Sedgwick appeared to be an American princess, with
her blue blood and her family money, not to mention her beauty, talent and
charisma. But when she met up with counter-culture anti-hero Andy Warhol,
everything changed. Suddenly, Edie found herself at the center of a
revolutionary artistic universe bursting with sex, drugs, style and rock 'n'
roll - and a mad rush for fame and fabulousness that was destined to spin out
of control.

Arriving into the chaos of mid-60s New York, Edie (Sienna Miller) meets
Andy (Guy Pearce) who sees in her untamed vulnerability the makings of an
irresistible muse. Andy invites Edie into the wild world of the Factory, a
former downtown hat factory he has transformed into a bohemian, creative
paradise. Here, a rag-tag mix of musicians, poets, artists, actors and
misfits gather to create art and make underground movies during the day and
throw glam parties all night long. Edie quickly ascends to become the star of
Warhol's movies, an idol at the Factory and a media darling. She is on top of
the world when she falls in love with a larger-than-life rock star (Hayden
Christensen). But when Edie becomes caught between Warhol's world of sexy
surfaces and her new love, she winds up rejected by both - and once again,
set adrift in the modern world.

Sienna Miller (Casanova, Alfie, Layer Cake) stars as Edie Sedgwick, with
Guy Pearce (Memento, The Proposition) starring as Andy Warhol. Factory Girl
also features a stellar support cast including Hayden Christensen (Star Wars
Episode II & III) as Billy Quinn, Jimmy Fallon (Fever Pitch) as Chuck Wein,
and Mena Suvari (American Beauty) as Richie Berlin.

Directed by George Hickenlooper (The Man From Elysian Fields), and
produced by Holly Wiersma (Bobby, Lonely Hearts) and Malcolm Petal (The Last
Time, Lonely Hearts). Bob and Harvey Weinstein are executive producers.

Factory Girl is distributed by Paramount Pictures UK & The Weinstein
Company and will open across the UK & Ireland on Friday, 16th March.
