A couple of years ago, Madonna said she was planning on returning to the directors chair and bringing Rebecca Walker's novel "Adé: A Love Story" to life.

Today she posted references and quotes to it on her instagram account so It looks like it's actually happening
I was hoping she would forget about it but here we are.
Why she is so determinted to crack the film industry when her movies are usually massive flops? "W.E" took forever and a day to make, so this means that there won't be any new music on the horizon for at least 2-3 years. As i'm such a big fan of her music this news hasn't exactly brightened up my day. >:(

That's a relief then
Maybe Prince should've done the same and spared us from the crap he recorded from the late 90's / 2000's
If you're such a big fan of hers, why not just go with her flow? If she wants to make a movie about something she's passionate about, surely as a fan you'd appreciate and accept that and wish her well? Or do you think she should take you, as a big fan, into account, and just do what you think she should do?
*moves away slowly*
I like some of her films:
Desperately Seeking Susan
Who's That Girl?
Dick Tracy
In Bed With Madonna
Evita
But not others:
Shanghai Surprise
The Next Best Thing
I prefer her music too but it's something she wants to do so even though I'd rather she made more albums I accept her decision to do another film.
Acting and theme tune?
Hardly a bond girl. She appeared in like one scene
At least no one is going to force me to go to see her new film!
This is the first time I've said something negative about Madonna. Would you rather I went and bought some rose tinted specs and started lying and bleating about how great this is? Being a fan doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to automatically love and adore everything she flings at us.
Very very badly
Still, it was a Pierce Brosnan film
I take it you haven't watched "Shanghai Surprise".
Oops! There I go again saying something negative. Silly me for being a fan and not appreciating EVERYTHING.
Embarrassment according to who...and why?
I take it you're referring to her age?
I love how people get annoyed at the fact that she doesn't conform to societies narrow minded views on how a women should behave once they reach 50+.
The Rolling Stone article links to a Deadline article from 2014 which claims she is directing Ade. Maybe things have changed since then? Who knows?
So this really isn't confirmation of anything. So fans who don't want her to direct another movie should chill out.
I don't mean to be rude, but it annoys me when people post incorrect or outdated information!
Maybe she just likes the quote!
She's much nearer to 60 than 50, She's 58 next month ( born August 16, 1958) so more of a -60 than 50+
She can do what she wants, maybe people forget that everything she has done the last 15 years or so has not been necessary to move from Lidl to Waitrose weekend shopping.;-)
She could have stopped after Ray of light and then people would have complained that her output phased out early days. Be pleased with the legacy she already has offered whether it flops or is a success
Erm, I'm well aware of how old she is...you're not telling me anything I don't already know. People have been attacking Madonna since 92. Watch this interview with Jonathon Ross.....

Where were you all a few months ago when she was getting ripped apart and I was the only one defending her against the hoardes of detractors?
Some "fans" make me SICK!
I wouldn't say I'm ungrateful, i would prefer it if she just made music rather than films because on the whole her film career hasn't been box office gold but I understand that it's her choice what she does!
