On [October 11th 2002] Madonna's film 'Swept Away' was released in Theaters.

The movie was directed by Guy Ritchie, who’s both the Material Mom’s husband

[at the time of report] and the rough-and-tumble British filmmaker behind the nearly

incomprehensible yet well-received import hits “Snatch” and “Lock, Stock and

Two Smoking Barrels.” The film stars Madonna as a snobby socialite who is

shown the error of her ways by a handsome stranger (newcomer Adriano

Giannini) when the pair are marooned together on a small island.

It’s the second time Madonna’s worked with her current husband (Ritchie

helmed the controversial video for “What It Feels Like for a Girl”) and the

second time she’s made a film with a spouse. “Shanghai Surprise,” the 1986

movie in which she co-starred with then-husband Sean Penn, like most of

Madonna’s ventures into Hollywood, was a critical and commercial failure,

though she did win accolades 10 years later for her starring role in

“Evita.”

At one point titled “Love, Sex, Drugs and Death,” “Swept Away” was shot in

Malta and various Mediterranean locations late last year. It’s based on the

1974 Italian film “Travolti da un Insolito Destino Nell’Azzurro Mare

D’Agosto.” In addition to Madonna and Giannini, “Swept Away” also stars

Bruce Greenwood (“Thirteen Days”).

Meanwhile, Madonna has a cameo in a much larger project, “Die Another Day,”

the latest James Bond flick, starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry. She’ll

show up briefly as a fencing instructor when the movie hits theaters this

fall.

Madonna also recorded the title track for the “Die Another Day” soundtrack,

following in the footsteps of such other Bond film contributors as Duran

Duran and A-Ha. The single was to be released at the end of October.

She’ll was to return to London to continue working on her album, which she

began recording during the spring, according to Warner Bros.

The Making of Madonna’s First Album Cover

Carin Goldberg — the art director behind Madonna’s debut album cover — spoke to the Cut about her first experience with the then-unknown pop star. It’s the first question that anybody asks me, even today: What was it like to work with Madonna? People think that maybe something dramatic or interesting or kind of wild might have happened, based on, you know, Madonna’s persona. But I would say that Madonna was probably the easiest job I ever had — the most cooperation from a recording artist I think I ever had. She was a true professional, even at that young age. It was ’83, and at that point I had my own small design firm. Warner Bros. called and asked me to do her cover as a freelance designer. When I got the call, I rolled my eyes, because it was another [musician with a] one-word name. At that time it had become cliché to have a one-word name, because of Cher, so I remember thinking, God, it’s going to be one of those. So I really went into it with very little expec...
