LOS ANGELES - Bye-bye Lindsay. Hello Sienna.

Sienna Miller has been tapped to replace Lindsay Lohan in the film “The Best Time of Our Lives,” according to Variety.

The movie, which also stars Keira Knightley, Matthew Rhys and Cillian Murphy, is based on a rivalry between two women over the famous Welsh poet Dylan Thomas (Rhys).

Miller will step into the role of Caitlin McNamara, Thomas’ wife.

Lindsay reportedly dropped out when she couldn’t reach a deal with the filmmakers.

“Time” is based on the true story of the relationships among Thomas, his wife Caitlin, his childhood friend Vera Phillips (played by Knightley) and her eventual husband, William Killick (Murphy).

The film, written by Knightley’s mother, centers on the curious incident where Killick opened fire on the Thomas home with a machine gun and a hand grenade.

Rebekah Gilbertson, who is co-producing the film, is the granddaughter of Phillips and Killick.
