Madonna signs Vera Farmiga for her movie over a 'cup of tea'

Queen of Pop Madonna is said to have wooed actress Vera Farmiga into signing up for her next movie with an intimate chat over a "cup of tea".

Madonna, 51, who made her directorial debut with 2008's Filth and Wisdom, is set to step behind the camera once again with a historical drama based on the life of late British royal King Edward VIII.
 
And according to Farmiga, 36, the singer is determined to sign her up as the leading lady, despite her not having seen Madonna's earlier works.

"She approached me. We sat for a cup of tea and again for a cup of tea. Hopefully, it will all come together," the Daily Star quoted Farmiga as telling E! Online. 

"I'm actually not familiar with her work and I told her this flat out. She sent a couple of films and I still haven't seen them," she added.
