London, Sep 1 : Queen of Pop Madonna is set to start her new movie project on Wallis Simpson, the Duchess of Windsor.

Madge, 51, hopes that Scottish actor David Tennant, 38, and Aussie actress Cate Blanchett, 40, will star in the movie about Wallis Simpson, the twice-divorced American socialite, to marry whom King Edward VIII gave up the throne.

The movie will be another musical like the 1996 flick ‘Evita’, in which Madge played Eva Peron, but this time she will be directing and producing, not acting in it.

She has already met with ‘Dr Who’ star Tennant to persuade him to play Edward, and she is determined to get Blanchett to play the young Wallis after deciding against Keira Knightley.

“The final script is now written and the locations have been scouted. Madonna is now trying to assemble the cast and put the finances in place,” the Sun quoted a source as saying.

“The first scene of the film is an old woman in her nineties living on her own in a Parisian flat. She starts to tell her life story to her housekeeper. It turns out the old woman is Wallis Simpson.

“There will be a song for each decade of her life,” the source added. (ANI)
