Ewan McGregor In Madonna’s W.E.

Ewan McGregorLooks like pop diva Madonna is set to direct W.E. using the script she’s writing together with Alex Keshishian (remember him from Truth or Dare, right?). This new project is actually biopic of royal proportion, and if you check the rest of our report, you might get little surprised hearing what it’s all about, and what actors are involved in the whole project… So, we know that this would be Madonna’s second directorial film, since we all know her directorial debut film was Filth And Wisdom released in 2008.

Vera Farmiga, still in our fresh memory from Up in the Air is eyeing the plum role of Simpson.

What else can we say but – we wish you luck Madonna!
