Madonna says she may try her hand at film making

Posted on: Tuesday, 29 November 2005, 19:54 CST

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."
