Sienna Miller bears no grudge against Cate Blanchett over her forfeiting of the Maid Marian role in the upcoming film Robin Hood. "Cate's 10 years older than me, which is more suitable for the script," the actress has told a movie magazine.

"The script kept changing and evolving to the point where I was no longer appropriate for it." Miller was to have played the merry maid opposite Russell Crowe as Robin. The Ridley Scott-directed film has been shooting most recently on the Welsh coast. "If they'd recast with Keira Knightley I'd have been heartbroken," Miller said, "but they've gone for something different - and better in my opinion ... If I had the choice between Cate Blanchett and me I'd go for Cate Blanchett." She also pointed out that other actors were swapped as the film developed. "There were several people supposed to be doing the film who no longer are but because it's me it becomes this enormous drama - I think it's a Sienna thing! .... There's just a vendetta against ... I don't know."
