Editor Of Madonna's New Flick Say's Its A Flop

Eddie Hamilton also revealed that the singer’s hubby Guy Ritchie, who wrote and directed the movie, ordered graphic nude shots of his missus to be cut because they “weren’t too flattering”.

And some of Madge’s scenes had to be re-shot after they were deemed a turn-off to filmgoers.

The romantic comedy has been dogged by rumours of trouble on the Maltese film set and has had scathing pre-release reviews.

Guy even pulled it from last month’s Cannes Film Festival to save it being slammed by critics.

Now editor Hamilton has added fuel to the fire by revealing that a test audience hated it.

He was overheard at a recent party in London saying: “The audience didn’t know what to make of it. A lot of them marked it down and weren’t laughing at the bits that were supposed to be funny.

“They didn’t like Madonna’s character at all. A lot of the audience said she sounded too bitchy when she spoke so we had to re-record some of her lines.

“The film is very un-PC. There are a lot of scenes of the male lead beating Madonna up and the audience didn’t know how to respond to it. He beats her up and she falls in love with him.”

Referring to the racy nude scenes, Eddie added: “They leave absolutely nothing to the imagination and to be frank, they’re not very flattering.

“We took loads of footage of Madonna completely starkers but after seeing it, Guy said ‘No way!’.

“They both felt the shots didn’t make Madonna look too good — although they’ll probably crop up on the Internet in a few months.”

Eddie’s explosive comments are sure to infuriate Madonna and Guy and could mean he never works with himand producer Matthew Vaughn again.

A source close to Madonna said: “She will not be happy about what he has said at all.

“She is desperate to make a good film and for the editor to say such things is not good, especially as Swept Away isn’t even out yet.”

The film, due to be released in September, tells the story of a rich woman, played by Madge, who gets stranded on a desert island and falls in love with the captain of their stricken yacht.

In another twist, Guy included a Moulin Rouge-inspired dance routine during re-editing which required a full jazz orchestra and a Versace dress for Madge being flown out to the set.
