Madonna is set to direct the MGM drama Taking Flight, which is based on the life of ballerina Michaela De Prince, Variety reports. “Michaela’s journey resonated with me deeply as both an artist and an activist who understands adversity,” Madonna said. “We have a unique opportunity to shed light on Sierra Leone and let Michaela be the voice for all the orphaned children she grew up beside. I am honored to bring her story to life.” Madonna will direct from a screenplay by Camilla Blackett (New Girl). Alloy Entertainment’s Leslie Morgenstein and Elysa Koplovitz Dutton will produce alongside Ben Pugh and Guy Oseary. MGM Production president Jonathan Glickman and Tabitha Shick are overseeing the project on behalf of the studio. Madonna made her feature directing debut on the 2008 British comedy Filth and Wisdom.
