Megastar Madonna literally stole the show at the premiere of husband Guy Ritchie’s film, Revolver.
Hundreds of fans lined up around the downtown Toronto Roy Thompson Hall hoping to catch a glimpse of the material girl and they were not disappointed.
Madonna and Ritchie arrived just minutes before the scheduled 9:00 pm premiere start time.
Although Madonna is still recovering from a horse riding accident which left her with three cracked ribs, a broken collar bone and a broken hand, she says, “You would have had to broken both my arms and both my legs for me to not come here.”
She even wore a black sling (which matched her outfit) that was designed by a friend.
Madonna joked that she was feeling good – after drinking a glass of wine before the premiere.
Ritchie seemed to be feeling as good as his wife.
Revolver, Ritchie’s fourth film, is a crime caper starring Ray Liotta, Jason Statham and Andre Benjamin.
After seven years in jail, Jake Green (Statham) has learned all of the secrets of manipulation and deceit. Upon his release, he is determined to take down Macha (Liotta), the most ruthless gangster in town.
Macha is the man who killed Jake’s sister-in-law and helped to put him in jail. Jake tries to take Macha down, but his enemy is stronger than he anticipated.
The mysterious dup Ari (Benjamin) and Zach (Vincent Pastore) enter Jake’s life. The question then becomes: are these men there to help him on his mission, or there to destroy his life?
Three out of the four films Ritchie has directed have been crime capers.
He says he keeps exploring this subject because, “I am interested in the philosophy behind crimes and cons. This film takes it to a whole new level. Just how big is the con? It is the ultimate con. That is what I was looking for.”
The night was filled with celebration, but the mood turned somber as Madonna discussed the anniversary of the World Trade Center attacks in New York City and Hurricane Katrina.
“We have had another natural disaster that it’s kind of making that look like nothing in comparison. Well not nothing, but it’s worse in a lot of ways,” Madonna says.
She even filmed a commercial with other musicians (stuffed into a phone booth) asking for people to help the hurricane victims.
Next up for Ritchie and Madonna: he will continue to promote Revolver, while she prepares to release a new album.
