MADONNA - MADONNA FILM LANDS DISTRIBUTION DEAL

MADONNA FILM LANDS DISTRIBUTION DEAL

MADONNA's directorial debut has landed a distributor in North America and will hit cinemas in August (08).
The comedic drama, Filth + Wisdom, was co-written and co-produced by the ever-busy pop superstar, and it debuted at the Berlin Film Festival in Germany (Feb08) to mixed reviews.
Madonna initially considered releasing the film as a download via the iTunes website, but has now signed a deal with IFC Entertainment to land the project a U.S. cinema release.
The low-budget movie, about a Ukranian immigrant in London, stars rocker Eugene Hutz, his band Gogol Bordello and Richard E. Grant.
