London, July 2 (IANS) Filmmaker Harvey Weinstein says he has high hopes from Madonna’s directorial debut “W.E.”.
“Madonna beautifully interweaves past and present in W.E. It’s a very smart film, and a stunning feature directorial debut. I’m incredibly excited about this movie and I wanted to give it a prominent release date,” dailystar.co.uk quoted him as saying.
The film partly chronicles King Edward VIII’s romance with American divorcee Wallis Simpson, which forced him to abdicate the throne to his brother.
Weinstein is said to be impressed by the project, which stars James D’Arcy and Andrea Riseborough and he is planning to release the film in America in December- when studios traditionally offer up their best efforts for Academy Awards.
