Madonna wrapped production on "W.E." her second directorial effort, in October, and now reports are suggesting she`s looking to premiere the film at the Venice Film Festival, which takes place from August 31 to September 10.
The film`s co-star, Abbie Cornish, not entirely confirmed the theory of a Venice debut to MTV News, but also revealed the mysterious role Madonna`s daughter, Lourdes, will be playing.
"I heard yesterday," Cornish told us about Venice, while promoting her upcoming thriller, "Limitless." "That`d be amazing."
"W.E" follows a "Julie & Julia"-esque dual story line, one featuring Cornish as a contemporary woman obsessed with the Duke and Duchess of Windsor and another focusing on the royal couple itself. News that Lourdes would look in a minor role surfaced last fall, when photos of the teen in a schoolgirl`s uniform popped up online, but until now the nature of her part was unclear. Cornish`s character, it turns out, has a deep link to that of Lourdes.
"She actually plays a younger version of my character," Cornish said, adding that because they depict the same person, they never got to share actual screen time. "She`s a super-cute, younger version of my character."
"W.E." marks Madonna`s second feature following "Filth and Wisdom," which hit but a smattering of theaters in 2008. The new project, the pop star turned filmmaker said last year, has been an obsession of hers even before "Filth and Wisdom" and took her two-and-a-half years to write. "I made `Dirt and Wisdom` because I realised that I didn`t actually make a good to create a bigger film until I made a smaller film - and knowing how to get a film," she said.
According to Cornish, though, the King of Pop is a born filmmaker. "Madonna is a natural director," the actress told us. "It`s in her nature. She`s a Leo and she really represents the Leos very well. She`s a real wise woman, very well read. She really absorbs a lot about whatever she`s involved in. I suppose she actually loves learning. It was interesting to see her evolve throughout the filmmaking process. She`s such a cool woman."
