Madonna says she may try her hand at film making

LONDON (Reuters) – U.S. pop star Madonna said on Tuesday
she might try her hand at making films, but her British movie
director husband Guy Ritchie smilingly said he could do without
the competition.

The 47-year-old singer was attending a London screening of
“I’m Going to Tell You a Secret,” a documentary directed by
Sweden’s Jonas Akerlund that follows her 2004 “Re-Invention”
tour. It is due to be shown on Britain’s Channel 4 TV this
week.

“Yeah, this has been a great learning experience and Jonas
kept me involved in a lot of the decision-making, so I like
it,” she told Reuters, when asked if she would consider making
a film.

Ritchie, whose movies have included “Lock, Stock and Two
Smoking Barrels,” seemed less enthusiastic.

“I could do without the competition,” he said, breaking
into a grin.

Asked to describe the Ritchie household should his wife
move into making films, he said: “I don’t know. I mean … she
ends up sort of directing things anyway, so I don’t think it’ll
be anything new.”

Responding to the same question, Madonna said: “The same as
it is right now. Two very big egos having discussions about
things.”

Madonna, who has just released her latest chart-topping
album “Confessions on a Dancefloor,” is on familiar turf with
the documentary.

In 1991, the mother-of-two starred in her first documentary
film, “In Bed with Madonna,” about her “Blonde Ambition Tour.”
