A giddy-seeming Madonna leaked details of her future filmmaking plans, in an interview with indieWIRE posted yesterday:

“I have other ideas swirling in my head,” Madonna said coyly when asked what else is on tap. For now she also has a new doc, “I Am Because We Are,” that will make its way around the festival circuit this Spring (apparently with stops in Tribeca and Cannes). She is also prepping another feature that she hopes to direct. It will “take place in New York, London and Paris,” she said of the new project, before quickly turning to her publicist, and smiling, “Oops, I don’t know if I should have said that.”

See also: the Spiegel interview above, in which Madonna comes precariously close to making a “Like a Virgin” reference when assessing the rush of bringing her directorial debut to market. If I was Madonna, I’d unleash direct “Like a Virgin” references in interviews all the time––not only would it be good for back-catalogue sales, but I think I’d feel the need to remind everyone that my whole career, the whole reinvention gambit, is all about being “touched [as if] for the very first time.”

I don’t actually sit around and think about what I would do if I were Madonna. Really. I swear.
