From MSNBC.com's Jeannette Walls:
Madonna's movie dreams
Madonna isn't giving up on her film career.
Fresh from her success as an author of a preachy kiddie book, Madonna is going to try again to win over big screen audiences. The former Material Girl is said to be planning to star in a musical comedy, penned by Joe Henry, who wrote the song "Don't Tell Me" from her Music CD. He also happens to be her brother-in-law.
"He's married to Madonna's sister, but he's a serious songwriter in his own right," says a source, "and, he's known her for years, so he's not intimidated by her so maybe he can give her the directing she needs."
