Madonna directs 'W.E.', a romantic historical fantasy

Posted by Superheidi | Wed, July 14 2010

W.E. is a new historical fantasy film currently in production in the U.K...directed by Madonna. Yes. Madonna.

W.E tells two parallel love stories separated by more than six decades. Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish) is a young unhappily married New Yorker who seeks refuge in her obsession with what she thinks of as the ultimate romantic love story, King Edward VIII's (James D'Arcy) abdication of the British throne for the love of divorcee Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough).

This is, of course, a real thing that happened. However, Madonna will add a romantic spin on the whole thing. Or maybe she won't. Whatever she does, it can't be worse than anything her ex husband has directed.

The film will star Abbie Cornish, James D'Arcy, Oscar Isaac, Andrea Riseborough, James Fox, Laurence Fox, Richard Coyle about be out in 2011.

P.S. - when will Abbie Cornish stop doing British Historical Fantasies?

This has to be a train wreck waiting to happen. The woman has been surrounded by sycophants all her career and likely this won't be any different - no one will ever tell her when she's making a poor creative decision.
