Madonna is directing her own biopic! Everything we know so far.

 

Welcome back on Blogger, 

During a livestream on Instagram, Madonna has finally confirmed she is working on her own biopic! Let's discuss this fantastic news together! 

BACKGROUND

In 2017, Universal announced that a biopic about Madonna supposedly titled "Blond Ambition" was in the works. The movie would have dealt with our Diva's rise to fame and early successes. 

Following the announcement, Madonna tried to boycott the movie as the latter would have sold lies about her own life to the world: "Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen. Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries it is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society". 

Nothing has been said about Blond Ambition since. 

WHAT WE KNOW SO FAR

But let's get back to Madonna's own biopic. As I told you earlier, during a livestream Madonna shared some details about the movie:

• The screenplay will be co-written with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody.
• Madonna has written a scene about the making of the song Like a Prayer, with Patrick Leonard.
• Another scene will feature Blond Ambition dancers Jose and Luis.
• Iconic figures like Andy Warhol, Keith Haring, Jean Michel Basquiat will appear in the movie, along with Madonna's late beloved friend Martin Burgoyne, her sister Paula, Donna De Lory, Niki Haris and Debi Mazar. An important section of the movie will be set in the early 1980's. 
• Producer Amy Pascal said the movie will be about two hours long. 
• The movie won't be a musical but performances are going to be included.
• Moments from Erotica, Evita and Ray of Light eras are going to be included.
• Different actresses will portray Madonna. 
• Madonna would like to do a TV series but Diablo Cody definitely wants to do a movie. 
• Madonna has started following multiple actresses on Instagram, in specific Julia Garner, Florence Pugh, Haley Bennett, Riley Keough.

This movie, if done right, will introduce Madonna to a new generation. She is definitely working with talented people this time so my expectations are high. I hope the movie focuses on her struggles, her triumphs but most of all the music. Her art should be the star. Can't wait! 

Let your body move to the music.
