Sorry if there happens to be a thread regarding this,
George Hickenlooper is working on a documentary involving Andy Warhol and Edie Sedgwick, and it looks like that Lou Reed has given us his opinion and publicly told the NY times "I read that script. It's one of the most disgusting, foul things I've seen - by any illiterate retard - in a long time. There's no limit to how low some people will go to write something to make money", as well as "They're all a bunch of whores."

Factory Girl
Yes , and I found this:
Snap, crackle and Pop Art with Andy Warhol...
Who do you talk to if you?ve signed up to play pop-culture king Andy Warhol? If you?re Guy Pearce, who plays the bewigged artist in Factory Girl, you get on the blower to Stephen Dorff.
?Guy called me up to talk about (Warhol?s studio) The Factory,? explains Dorff, who played transvestite Candy Darling in Mary Harron?s I Shot Andy Warhol. ?Not that our films cover the same ground...? Indeed. Factory Girl is less a movie about the prince of soup-tin painting than it is about his beautiful muse Edie Sedgwick. Enter Brit starlet Sienna Miller for her first title role and her chewiest acting proposition to date, as party girl Edie drops out of Harvard to gatecrash the hedonistic blur of ?60s New York with Warhol. ?It?s the role of a lifetime,? explains Miller. Having won back the part after being ditched by the studio, Sedgwick?s is clearly a story Miller is keen to tell.

But there are no stars in New York sky, they're all on the ground.

I just saw a commercial on VH1 for EdieFactoryGirl, and Lou was in one of the photos in the commercial. No big deal...just thought I'd say it!
