Sienna Miller's Belly Dancer Role

Posted Wednesday March 2, 2011 4:24 PM GMT

Looking to bulk up her resume a bit, Sienna Miller will star in an upcoming film called “Just Like a Woman.”

In the Rachid Bouchareb directed flick, the “Alfie” actress will play a Chicago housewife who flees to Las Vegas with her belly-dancing teacher to enter a dance competition.

Of Bouchareb, Miller told press, “Rachid is one of the most exciting directors working today. He’s one of those people who understand the medium of film in a way that’s not manipulative but that’s honest and raw. As a director he’s capable of anything. The kinds of films he makes are the ones I like to watch.”

Filming is set to begin in New Mexico this summer on June 13.
