Madonna Heading for the Big Screen...Again

 
     
  You've got to give the Material Girl credit...she doesn't let a little thing like dismal failure get her down. So she's made a few flicks, and they've all been...well, disasters. Does she let that stop her from trying? Of course not! She just marries a director (which is a bit like buying the factory).

This time around, she and Guy Ritchie have their eyes on a remake of the 1975 Lina Wertmuller flick, Swept Away. The plot revolves around a rich woman who is stranded on a desert island with a Communist deckhand from her yacht. The plot also bears a striking resemblance to the 1987 Goldie Hawn/Kurt Russell flick, Overboard.

If you think Ritchie can get a better perf out of her than her previous directors, you can disabuse yourself of that notion right now by taking a gander at the short film the two of them made for BMW.
