Pop diva Madonna decided to become the director of her third film, which will tell about the life of the ballerina Mikaela De Prince.

This time, the singer will shoot the film "Flight", which tells the story of the American ballerina Mikaela De Prince. The Hollywood studio MGM bought the rights to the ballerina's memoirs, written with her adoptive mother. This is reported by the publication "Deadline".

"Mikaela's story is consonant with me both as an artist and as an activist who understands adversity.

We have a unique opportunity to shed light on Sierra Leone, and let Mikaela become the voice for all the orphans with whom she grew up alongside. It is a great honor for me to bring her story to life, "Madonna said..

Over the "Flight" scenario, Camille Blackett, known for the TV series "Novyaya".

Let's note, for Madonna "Flight" - not the first experience in directing. In 2008, she directed the comedy "Mud and Wisdom", and in 2011 - the drama "We. Believe in love ". Both films were negatively received by critics.
