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.

Madonna: Like an Icon Originally published in 2007 by music critic Lucy O'Brien, this book is always a nice read as it not only chronicles the life and career of Madonna but also tells about O'Brien's experience as a fan, what she thought of Madonna initially and what made her change her mind for the best. This book keeps on getting updated as Madonna's life and career progresses and a new edition is apparently coming this year. I highly recommend it.

I have always loved classic stars and movies myself so I am very happy to share this article with you. Let's get into it! (Madonna on the set of the Material Girl music video) Madonna has often expressed admiration for legendary pop figures, not only actors and actresses but also films, with specific attention to the characters and their main trait, may it be wit, melancholia, romance, sensuality or ambiguity. Their style, beauty and overall uniqueness have been honored by Madonna through her music videos, performances and outfits. In particular, our Diva is great at giving new life to them, she is able to re-invent them in a new context, thus making them timeless. Marilyn Monroe is probably Madonna's biggest inspiration, aesthetically speaking. She has paid tribute to the blonde bombs

Like a Prayer (1989) - Album Review

Welcome back on Blogger! The day has finally arrived. Today we are going to discuss Madonna's fourth studio album Like a Prayer, universally recognized as one of the best albums of its decade and of all time. Let's delve into this masterpiece together! Released on March 21, 1989, Like a Prayer sees Madonna at her most intimate and confessional, dealing with domestic violence, her mother's death, her complicated relationship with her father, the importance of family and female empowerment, all connected by an apparently shadowy but omnipresent leitmotiv: her Catholic upbringing . " The theme of Catholicism runs rampant. It's me struggling with the mystery and magic that surrounds it. My own Catholicism is in constant upheaval [...] Because in Catholicism you are a born sinner and you're a sinner all your life. No matter how you try to get away from it, the sin is within you all the time. It was this fear that haunted me; it taunted and pained me ever
