Madonna to take on 'W.E.'
By Adnan Tezer Feb 16, 2010, 2:43 GMT
Madonna will direct "W.E.," a biopic about the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcee Wallis Simpson.
This eventually led to King Edward VIII giving up the throne in December 1936 so he could marry the twice-divorced American with two living ex-husbands.
According to Variety, Vera Farmiga ("Up in the Air") is in talks for the role of Simpson.
The role of King Edward has not been cast.
Madonna is writing the script with Alex Keshishian, who directed her in the 1991 documentary "Truth or Dare."
Colin Vaines and David Parfitt are producing.
This will be Madonna’s second time behind the camera. Her directorial debut, "Filth and Wisdom," was released in 2008.
