Believe it or not, here's the movie trailer for W.E., the first film from Madonna... And when I say the first one, obviously, not as an actress (because she sucks as an actress, by the way), but as a writer and director. Hope she does much better as a writer/director than she did as an actress in the past!

Synopsis: W.E. tells the story of two fragile but determined women - Wally Winthrop and Wallis Simpson - separated by more than six decades. In 1998, lonely New Yorker Wally Winthrop is obsessed with what she perceives as the ultimate love story: King Edward's VIII's abdication of the British throne for the woman he loved, American divorcée Wallis Simpson. But Wally's research, including several visits to the Sotheby's auction of the Windsor Estate, reveals that the couple's life together was not as perfect as she thought. Weaving back and forth in time, W.E. intertwines Wally's journey of discovery in New York with the story of Wallis (Riseborough) and Edward, from the glamorous early days of their romance to the slow unraveling of their lives in the decades that followed.
