Back to Moviefone 2011 Holiday Movie Preview
'W.E.'
TWC
Release Date: Dec. 9 limited
From director Madonna -- yep, that Madonna -- comes 'W.E.,' a time-spanning historical drama about the romance between Wallis Simpson (Andrea Riseborough) and King Edward VIII (James D'Arcy), and a modern-day woman (Abbie Cornish) obsessed with the couple. 'W.E.' has gotten rung over the coals by festival audiences this fall, but if there is anyone who can whip it into theatrical shape, it's probably Harvey Weinstein, who's distributing the film domestically. -- Christopher Rosen
