Nightshade Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I'm certainly happy we are getting an album soon, but I am also happy she's directing again. She's a creative beast and she needs to not be limited to musical output. I feel like some fans would put her in a "pop music cow-milking factory" if they could. Just put hoses on her tits and suck out pop songs until she's emaciated and dead. I would think people who enjoy her work would want her to feel free and creative so that whatever we get - be it music, movies or writing - is a true reflection of where she is. Not just some processed garbage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larkspur Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 that i enjoy with passion everything she delivers with passion... btw, W.E. isn't a shitty movie, it has its faults but is a good and interesting movie that has madonna vision all over it....

Guest Sweet Tooth Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 Madonna said in either the Carson Daly or Ryan Secrest radio interview when GMAYL came out, post Superbowl "I would have loved to perform at the Academy Awards, too bad they didn't nominate my song"! Or something to that effect Both radio interviews are on YouTube That statement further proves my point that they were expecting/hoping for Masterpiece to be nominated It's Guy O's job as her manager to look into the rules for a song to be eligible for a nomination It reminds me of Jennifer Aniston in the last few years of Friends, her people forgot to submit her for the Emmy and she wasn't too pleased about it. Masterpiece would've won imo if nominated. Madonna would have an Oscar on her mantlepiece and be labeled "Oscar Winner Madonna". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Loo Eli Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 She definitely needs to work with actors that are so experienced that they don't need basic direction, which is a testament in her case to both how unseriously her acting is taken but also how different the skills are between directing and acting. Madonna can guide her characters to the motivations and the emotional honesty of a scene but no one is going to listen if she tries to micromanage or lead them by example.

mtzlplk Posted March 29, 2014 Share Posted March 29, 2014 I think a real MADONNA fan should never doubt her directing abilities... control freak, an eye for detail, creative mind, thinks outside the box, those are qualities of a good director, right? At least among the singers and the Divas lot, she's the only one who can seriously write and direct apart from singing... hence, the "they can't do what i do' boast...

Carta Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 "Masterpiece" was included in the "For Your Consideration" material sent out to Oscar voters for "Masterpiece" by Weinstein, so its ineligibility would have been a surprise to him. I would have thought that the director would be responsible for ensuring the eligibility of various aspects of a film. You don't hear people complaining that Steven Spielberg's manager hasn't ensured that an actor had enough screen time to be considered a Lead Actor rather than a Supporting Actor, do you? The decision to continue with Abel's score once the screen had faded to black and the credits had started rolling was Madonna's. She obviously didn't know about the rule, but we can't blame Guy Oseary for that. I agree that a performance of the song at the awards ceremony would have been sublime. What's really odd, though, is that "Masterpiece" was NOT submitted for consideration by The Grammys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rb19 Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 What's really odd, though, is that "Masterpiece" was NOT submitted for consideration by The Grammys. I think that was M's decision, she wanted to support MDNA fully. Between W.E., The Superbowl (which was really just promo for herself), Truth or Dare and MDNA, there was a fuckload of international promotion during the MDNA era, but M being M and loving everything she does equally, wanted to do each set of promo separately. So while someone else would have done an interview where they talked about an album for 20 minutes, the film for ten, the perfume for five etc., she didn't and spent whole interviews talking about one thing. It would have been lovely if it had won the grammy, although looking at the nominations none of the songs nominated for the grammy that year were also nominated for the globe. Man Or Muppet, which won the Oscar (and was one of only two nominations) was not nominated for a globe, though it was for a grammy. It was a total clusterfuck year.

I agree. The rule was fairly new, changed only in 2009, but the Weinsteins of all people should be on top of Oscar eligibility requirements.

TearsInHeaven Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 The Madonna movie Adé: A Love Story has found its writer According to the Hollywood Reporter, Dianne Houston (Take the Lead) has signed on to adapt Rebecca Walker’s memoir for the big screen, marking Madonna’s next directing project. The film centers on a 19-year-old American student raised in a Christian and Jewish home who travels to Africa and falls in love with a young Muslim man on an island off the coast of Kenya. Their hastily made plans to marry, however, get blown away by cultural and political forces. Walker, who also hails from a Christian-Jewish home, is the daughter of The Color Purple author Alice Walker. Bruce Cohen, Jessica Leventhal and Walker are producing. CAA, which reps Madonna, will be taking the project out to financiers in the coming weeks. Adé marks Madonna’s follow up to the period romance W.E., which was released by The Weinstein Company in 2011. The book was published in 2013 by Amazon’s Little A imprint. Houston, who has an untitled Missy Elliott project in the works, is repped by Kaplan-Stahler Agency.

Iconic Fetus Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 She will start shooting this right after the tour, this will be way more easy than WE because she will have the script ready and she will only shoot it. If she took 6 months shooting WE, maybe she will take 4-5 months, I guess that tight after the tour she will start with this project, maybe from February to June 2016, to premiere it maybe in May 2017. And maybe a new album in November 2017 to fulfill the contract with LN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raider of the lost Ark Posted November 18, 2014 Share Posted November 18, 2014 I just wish she would do a more accessible project. The subject sounds too complicated to find a larger audience. I don't like St. Angelina very much but I think she did the right thing with her new movie. Her last movie flopped (I think even worse than W.E.) because of the story. Yes it was an honorable project but hard to sell to the general audience. So, she took the easy route with her new movie. Involving big players from the industry she and her husband know. And it starts with the script. And if the script is written by the Coen brothers ... about a war hero ... a sportsman ... that's very safe, almost calculated. This is no criticism because I understand the necessity that at some point you will have to prove you are capable to make something profitable wether this is at the box office or when it comes to awards. And here is the problem, Madonna will need to come up with something that pays off first before she continues to make arthouse movies. I mean those arthouse movies are fine but she will need to finance them on her own which will turn them into vanity projects. And once you have this stamp, who is going to take you seriously? Especially in an industry she has a rather bad relationship with. I have said it before, what she needs is a star vehicle. And if she doesn't want to play the part on her own (because she quit acting for good) she could direct Sunset Boulevard starring Glenn Close. It has all the ingredients. All she needs to do is to put it together. That's what a good director does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
