Sarah Ferguson teams up with Martin Scorsese

British royal Sarah Ferguson has tried her hand at film making - producing a new movie about late monarch Queen Victoria.

The Duchess of York teamed up with Martin Scorsese to produce The Young Victoria, which stars Emily Blunt as the royal in her younger years.

Gosford Park Oscar winner Julian Fellowes has written the screenplay and Jean-Marc Vallee will direct.

Ferguson explains her role to the New York Post, "I wrote the two historical novels on her (Queen Victoria's) life. Emily Blunt plays Victoria, Rupert Friend is Prince Albert, and there's Natasha Richardson and Jim Broadbent. They're editing it now."
