Earlier this morning, the Toronto International Film Festival announced the first batch of movies for the line-up for TIFF 2011 and among the listed films was Madonna’s second film W.E. (Weinstein Co. – releasing Dec. 9), starring Abbie Cornish. It will mark the movie’s North American premiere.

W.E. is a romantic exploration of the mysterious connection across decades between two women confronting the consequences of desire. Caught in a loveless Manhattan marriage, abused and frustrated Wally (Abbie Cornish) obsesses over Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough), the stylish American divorcee who captured the heart of Edward the VIII (James D’Arcy) who abdicated the throne as King of England. As the Duchess of Windsor, Wallis spends the rest of her life in the glare of celebrity exile. Inspired by the Duchess’ determination to pursue love in the face of social exile, Wally escapes into the arms of another man (Oscar Isaac) whose love sets her free. Madonna and a world class team of collaborators present a passionate tale of the search for love and the meaning of happiness. W.E. (for Wallis and Edward, forever entwined in the love story of the 20th century) is a rich, cinematic portrayal of two strong women resolved to find romance.

Abbie Rumoured for The Invisible Woman

Filed in Role Rumors

The Daily Mail’s Baz Bamigboye is reporting that Ralph Fiennes, who will be making his directorial debut with The Invisible Woman, has been meeting with a number of actresses to discuss the possibility of them portraying the character of Nelly in the film. Those on Fiennes’ list are believed to include Abbie Cornish, Imogen Poots and Felicity Jones. For now, though, he is only meeting them — not offering them the role. The film tells the story of Charles Dickens’ secret love affair and is based on Claire Tomalin’s well-researched best-seller.

There has been a lot of project rumours circling around Abbie this past year and most of them have been just that: rumours. As per usual, we’ll keep you updated if things are officialized.
