The singer Madonna is receiving a helping hand from ex-husband Guy Ritchie in casting an odd-sounding film about Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson…
Madonna has written the movie with Alek Keshishian, who directed the documentary Madonna: Truth Or Dare in 1991.
W.E. is described as a romantic comedy about a woman called Wally Winthrop.
The synopsis of W.E. states that Wally was ‘named for her grandmother’s passion’ and there are fantasy and flashback scenes involving Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson who, after the Abdication, were styled the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
There’s a lot of dialogue between the Duke and Duchess, but my guess is that the screenplay will be re-written before shooting commences next year. I’m presuming W.E. stands for Wallis and Edward.
Other segments of the film have Wally Winthrop marrying a pediatrician. She then attends an event featuring items that belonged to the Duchess of Windsor where she finds herself falling for a security guard.
Madonna has several meetings planned this week and next with various actors and actresses. She needs to cast a star name to help boost the budget. In this climate, Madonna’s name alone won’t guarantee a picture will be financed.

The movie sounds really lame. Why doesn’t she do something serious and dramatic??
Another lame movie from Madonna
OH PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEESE dont let Madonna make the MAJOR mistake of starring in this movie!!!….she needs to focus on a directing career…I think she could do that very well……but at this time in her career she can not jeopardize another ridiculous journey into acting.
she even admitted it in her interview with ryan searchest that she’s doing this movie.
very interesting.
The plot sounds terribly boring – I’m shocked that M wrote and wants to direct this. I thought she would be interested in a (much) more provocative theme/plot – how wrong I am.
you are VERY wrong…..do some research!…its a VERY romantic provocative love story.
sounds interesting. and madonna knows a lot about great filmwork, which is good. and i’m glad she’s not “acting” in it. unless it’s a musical or a silent part, madonna should never act again. can’t wait to see how this turns out.
