Perhaps impressed by the boundless understanding of love and relationships Madonna recently displayed on The Marriage Ref, actor Ewan McGregor has boarded the romantic drama W.E., which the Material Girl will direct. McGregor will play the swoon-worthy Edward VIII, who abdicated his throne to marry American divorcée Wallis Simpson (Vera Farmiga) in 1936. Let's hope the film cuts off before Eddie stars getting buddy-buddy with the Nazis during World War II. Not quite as romantic! [Screen Daily]
