People are buzzing about the movie about famed, doomed Andy Warhol minx, Edie Sedgwick. Katie Holmes is currently set to star in Factory Girl as the titular super-8 superstar who was done in by too many pills. “Katie is not too different from Edie, who arrived in New York as young innocent looking for excitement,” said director George Hickenlooper, who made 2001’s The Man from Elysian Fields with Mick Jagger and 2003’s Mayor of the Sunset Strip, the doc about Rodney Bingenheimer. Others cast in Factory Girl are Guy Pearce as Andy Warhol, Gwen Stefani as Brigid Berlin, and Gwen’s hubby Gavin Rossdale as Gerard Malanga. Meanwhile, there is still the Holly Woodlawn epic in the works, as well as Lorna Luft’s project on Candy Darling. Whew. Talk about a factory. (NY Daily News)
