Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller: On the Edge

They’re the hottest duo since Scarlett Johansson and Natalie Portman starred in “The Other Boleyn Girl” together. And Keira Knightley and Sienna Miller were all smiles at their photocall for “The Edge of Love.”

The British beauties were spotted hamming it up for the cameras in Edinburgh, Scotland earlier today as they began the promotional tour for their upcoming film.

Sienna’s role was originally supposed to go to Lindsay Lohan, but when she fell through producers immediately called on the “Factory Girl” starlet to step in.

She told press, “I had two weeks to prepare before we started filming. Normally I would spend a lot more time doing research and getting completely paranoid but I just had to jump, which suited the part because she was quite abandoned.”

And Knightley confessed that she loved the script to the point that it stuck with her after reading it just once. “When you’re an actress, the lines disappear from your head as soon as you pick up a new script. But Dylan Thomas’s words never disappeared from my head. The love I had for him, I retained.”
