Madonna Wants to Direct 'W.E.'
February 16th 2010 06:34
Just the other day I was explaining abdicating to a friend. I was telling her about King Edward the VIII abdicating from the throne to marry his true love, a divorcee lover, Wallis Simpson.
Today, I read that Madonna, who occasionally is called the queen of pop, wants to director a movie about these royal love birds.
She calls the movie W.E. The movie is described as a biopic about the affair between King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson that led to the Brit royal abdicating from the throne to marry his divorcee lover.
Vera Farmiga (Up in the Air) is very interested in playing Simpson, whose love started the most severe constitutional crisis in the English monarchy in the 20th century.
There is no word yet on who will play King Edward. I hope it is a Brit like James McAvoy.
Alex Keshishian is writing the script with Madonna. Keshishian also directed Truth or Dare.
Simpson lived a rather unconventional life at the time. She was married twice before her romance with Edward. The two of them as the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, spent the best part of three decades living a life of leisure as social celebrities around the world.
