Weinstein Company buys WE for the US Market

 

The Weinstein Company announced today that it has acquired U.S. distribution rights to W.E., Madonnas directorial debut of a feature film. W.E. is a romantic drama co-written by Madonna and Alek Keshishian, produced by Madonna and Kris Thykier and executive produced by Scott Franklin (BLACK SWAN).

 

It stars Abbie Cornish (LIMITLESS), Oscar Isaac (DRIVE), James DArcy (MASTER AND COMMANDER: THE FAR SIDE OF THE WORLD), Andrea Riseborough (NEVER LET ME GO), Natalie Dormer (The Tudors), Richard Coyle (PRINCE OF PERSIA: THE SANDS OF TIME), James Fox (SHERLOCK HOLMES) and Laurence Fox (Inspector Lewis). The announcement was made by TWC Co-Chairman Harvey Weinstein and President of Production Donna Gigliotti.

 

Spanning six decades, W.E. juxtaposes a contemporary love story with that of King Edward VIII and American divorcée Wallis Simpson. W.E. is about the nature of true love, and the sacrifices and compromises that are often made. Ive wanted to tell this story for a very long time, and bringing it to life has been a great adventure for me. Im looking forward to working with Harvey and The Weinstein Company on this film, commented Madonna.

 

Madonna has really come into her own as a filmmaker with W.E., said Weinstein. Shes taken one of the most famous romances of the 20th Century and brought it to life in a smart, sexy and thoroughly modern way. Its a terrific addition to our US release slate.

 

Commented Gigliotti, The advance footage for W.E. was some of the most impressive Ive ever seen. I cant wait for American audiences to have the opportunity to see this film.

 

The deal was negotiated for TWC by Weinstein, COO David Glasser and Michal Steinberg, Senior Vice President Business Affairs and Acquisitions; and by CAA, on behalf of the filmmakers.

Madonna will be a guest on the popular "Inside The Actors Studio" with James Lipton airing on Bravo Channel.

Details coming soon!.

i like this program i recently saw the cameron diaz episode!

What channel do they show it on here or did you watch it online?.

I actually dont know what channel it is shown on here but will find out!

Maybe Sky arts or some digital channel.

I know this will be all over the net before it hits UK tv but would be good to see on tv too.

W.E. Will be released in the US on December 9th 2011.

Madonna talks about W.E. (On the press release)

"W.E. is about the nature of true love, and the sacrifices and compromises that are often made. 'I’ve wanted to tell this story for a very long time, and bringing it to life has been a great adventure for me. I’m looking forward to it's release".

 

anyone know what certificate this film is likely to recieve?

The cert hasn't been issued yet for the UK release (if we get one).

Are you planning to see it?.

ofcourse!!

I was hoping you was gunna say that.

I hope it does get released in the UK. I wanna see it, I never get to go to the cinema :( Scream 4 is the only film I have seen in the cinema in about 18

months.

The last time I went was to see Michael Jackson's This Is It film. I went with a friend because he's a big MJ fan and he wanted to go with someone so, it maybe playback time. I hope W.E. does well for her and not panned by the media as per usual.. I really love body of evidence (lol)... I don't really make time to watch films these days so maybe W.E. Will be a good excuse to go to the cinema a bit more often.

The Italian date looks set for September 11th 2011. (Not yet officially confirmed).
