And Madonna's not going to act in it, how refreshing.
As the Daily Mail reports, Abbie is going to play one of the leading ladies, Wally Winthrop in a movie based on the Edward VIII abdication. Vera Farmiga is going to play the Duchess (whom Wally is obsessed with), but both women's involvement won't be finalised until the role of Edward VIII has been finalised - Madonna is said to be currently shopping for a leading man in LA and heading to London shortly.
The script of the movie (which is called W.E.) was written by Madonna and Alex Keshishian and is said to have gone through a number of drafts but is now looking good. Yes, Madonna is helping write. I guess when you have that much money and you want to get into the movie business but finally realise that your acting isn't up to scratch, you can start producing.
