Sienna Miller to play a blind Oxford don
Actress Sienna Miller is to play a blind Oxford academic
Edmund King on Friday 15th May 2009
Actress Sienna Miller is to be offered the role of a blind Oxford University don in an upcoming independent film.
Shamim Sarif, the director of the film and a novelist, said it would be "fantastic" if Miller could play the role in "The Dreaming Spires". Set in post-war Oxford, the film tells the story of a young student who falls in love with a blind, married English professor in her thirties.
The script is an adaptation of one of Sarif's short stories. It is the first film by Sarif not to feature a lesbian love story. Filming is due to start later in the year.

I love Sienna, and I have an infatuation with Oxford, but I cannot picture her as a don, much less a blind one ?!
