Madonna directing her new movie, ‘W.E,’ in Paris
08.2.2010 | By Jack Rico |
She’s up to it again! Madonna, The Material Girl is in Paris shooting her latest film, “W.E.“. The film will be two-tiered romantic drama focusing on the affair between King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson and a contemporary romance between a married woman and a Russian security guard.
Think Julie and Julia style.
The 51-year-old singer made her directorial debut in 2008 with “Filth and Wisdom,” about a Ukrainian cross-dressing punk-rocker. That didn’t go so well.
Madonna is not the only U.S. star to film in the French capital this summer.
Last week, Woody Allen was shooting his “Midnight in Paris” on location near the Pantheon and in a park behind Notre Dame cathedral. The film, starring Owen Wilson, also includes a performance by France’s first lady, model-turned-singer Carla Bruni-Sarkozy.
