W.E. will show us the other side of the story we saw in The King’s Speech – it focuses on the love story between Wallace Simpson and King Edward VIII (starring Andrea Riseborough and James D’Arcy).

The film is directed, written and producced by Madonna. It will be interesting to see how it turns out, particularly as the historic love story is spliced with a modern love story (starring Abbie Cornish).

W.E. will be released on 20 January 2012 in the UK and 3 February 2012 in the US.
