Miller & West: Back Together for Dramatic Divorce Battle
24 Sep
Summary
- Sienna Miller and Dominic West reunite for HBO Max drama 'War'.
- The series depicts Britain's biggest divorce trial with dirty tactics.
- Miller was three months pregnant during filming, a fact concealed.
HBO Max's new series, 'War,' stars Sienna Miller and Dominic West as Carla Duval and Morgan Henderson, a high-profile couple whose marriage is disintegrating into Britain's largest-ever divorce trial. The drama, premiering October 1, features both their law firms engaging in cutthroat tactics.
The series marks a reunion for Miller and West, who last shared a stage nearly twenty years ago. Their long-standing friendship, they noted, aided in portraying the intense animosity required for their characters. Miller described playing Carla as surprisingly freeing, allowing her to conserve personal energy.
Filming presented unique circumstances for Miller, who was three months pregnant at the start and near her due date by the end of production, a fact skillfully hidden by the costume department. The show's creator, George Kay, aimed to embed relatable themes within the glamorous and often deceptive world depicted.
The premiere event was held at Manhattan's Perelman Performing Arts Center on Tuesday evening. Attendees included cast members like Nick Mohammed and Archie Renaux, alongside the show's creator. The event featured themed decor and specialty cocktails, with West seen catching up with former 'The Wire' co-stars.
