Video Veteran ”Chasing Fate” for Madonna
British music video veteran Nigel Dick, who shot clips for the likes of Guns N’ Roses, Britney Spears and Oasis, will direct the romantic comedy feature “Chasing Fate“.The project, set up at Madonna’s Maverick Films, revolves around a successful man whose life unravels after he dumps his fiancee. When she finds sudden fame and fortune, he becomes convinced they were fated to be together and goes on a journey to win her back.
“This is the kind of movie I’ve been wanting to get my hands on for years,” Dick said. “When I first moved to Hollywood, I spent $12.98 on a book about screwball comedies, and I’m delighted that at long last I’ll be seeing a return on my investment. I’ve even made a promise to the producers that I won’t charge them for it in my expenses.”
Dick has directed more than 260 music videos during his career including Guns N’ Roses’ “Welcome to the Jungle”, Spears’ “Oops I Did It Again” and Oasis’ “Wonderwall”. He also directed the MTV movie “2Gether” and Sony’s S Club 7 film “S Club Seeing Double”.
