Madonna’s Frozen Director to direct first feature film

The premier league of musicvid directors contains a handful of names, and Chris Cunningham has unquestionably been one of them since his surreal and spooky work with acts such as Bjork, Madonna and the Aphex Twins in the late 1990s.

Rumors of his move into features have been circulating among fans for years (at one stage he was supposed to be adapting William Gibson‘s cyberpunk novel “Neuromancer”), but there have been no firm sightings.

Until now. The U.K. Film Council has awarded him £95,300 ($164,200) to develop “Ranx,” a sci-fi relationship drama inspired by the cult French comicbook series of the same name (originally published as “RanXerox” but forced to change its title after a lawsuit from the photocopier firm).
