Madonna to direct comedy

LONDON: Pop superstar Madonna is following in the footsteps of her husband and is set to direct a film.

Madonna's first directorial venture is a comedy titled 'Filth and Wisdom' and she will start shooting the film in London towards the end of this month, reports ananova.com. 

This will be Madonna's first return to film since 2002's 'Swept Away', which flopped badly. She played a snooty socialite in the film, directed by her husband Guy Ritchie. 

"Madonna has Ritchie's full support. She told him, 'Anything you can do, I can do better, honey'," said a friend of the couple.
