Trailer for pop-music maven's directorial debut on Youtube
Madonna's W.E. is touted as a "beautifully crafted, passionate tale about the search for true love in the modern world, viewed through the prism of one of history's most fabled romances."
The film's synospsis sets the date in 1998, as Manhattan buzzes with anticipation for the upcoming estate auction of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor.
"But the auction is far more than a diversion for Wally Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), a transplanted Southerner trapped in an unhappy and abusive marriage," the movie reps share. "Transfixed by the exquisite artifacts of the Windsors' lives, Wally becomes obsessed with the love story of Wallis Simspon (Andrea Riseborough), the chic, charismatic American who captured the heart of King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy). As she learns more about the sacrifices Wallis made in choosing to be with Edward, Wally finds the courage to follow her own heart and create her own happiness."
The Weinstein Company has slated W.E.'s theatrical release for February 3, 2012. A film trailer is currently posted on youtube.com.
