It seems that there is potential for a very powerful cat fight between Madonna and Angelina Jolie as rumour has it they are both vying for the rights to the Chilean miners’ story in the hopes of directing the movie.
According to a source to the British Daily Star:
“Development has already started on the film and Angelina and Madonna are both desperate to be at the helm,”
“This story touched viewers worldwide and the film is going to be colossal. It would establish either of them as a respected film director”
Sometimes when there are really slow news weeks (like these recent ones) overactive imaginations kick into high gear and usually this involves either nefarious gossip or pitting women against each other.

Originally the buzz was speculating that Stephen Spielberg would be directing the movie about the true story of the 33 men who were trapped underground for 69 days before being saved by an innovative rescue capsule on October 13. The source says:
“They are both passionate women who will do anything to get ahead in the movie world”
No question these women are ahead in the entertainment world but in terms of the movie world, from a directorial standpoint, I don’t think they can compete with the likes of Stephen Spielberg.

What do you think? Is this rumour fact or fiction?
