Sienna Miller under protection after receiving muslim death threats
KP International ^ | 2006-04-25

(KP International) – Sienna Miller has reportedly received death threats over her involvement in the film 'Interview.'

The film is a remake of the thriller first directed by Theo van Gogh in 2003. Van Gogh's 2004 TV documentary short, 'Submission: Part I,' which discussed the treatment of women in Islam, stirred up controversy and infuriated Islamic fundamentalists. Van Gogh was murdered later that year.

Though 'Interview' has nothing to do with Islam, the mere association with van Gogh seems to be enough. "We are very much aware that it requires a high level of security," said a member of the 'Interview' production team. "We will ensure Sienna and her costar, Steve Buscemi, are given the sort of protection that this project requires."

Another member of the crew told the Britain's Daily Star, "Sienna refuses to give in to these threats. 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."
