The highly anticipated biopic of the musical legend of Madonna he takes a seemingly indefinite vacation. The project she would have directed herself has already been scrapped by Universal Pictures, according to Variety.
Speculation about the film’s fate began soon after Madonna announced a world tour which would cover “his entire career”, a tour that began last week and has already sold out in New York, London, Paris and other cities around the world.
In the diva’s milieu they stressed that “her only goal is touring,” but still clarified that she herself remains committed to making a film about her life… one day.
The actress chosen for the role (Julia Garner) and Universal Pictures declined to comment on the matter. Garner rose to fame for her starring role in the Netflix series ozarks.
Although it was announced in 2020, the film project progressed slowly and was only confirmed in late 2022. Madonna worked on two draft scripts that spanned large periods of her creative and personal life.
In addition, a version was written with the Oscar-winning screenwriter for June, Hell Cody (co-writing meetings that were widely shared on social media).
Erin Cressida Wilson (Secretary, The Girl on the Train) made a second version and last June Variety broke the news that Emmy and Golden Globe winner, Julia Garnerhe had been cast in the lead role of the pop icon.
What followed was a grueling casting session in the heat of a group of young actors (including Florence Pugh, the star of Euphoria, Alexa Demie, Odessa Young and Bebe Rexha) who attended a “sing and dance camp”.
Everything was relatively functional, but something happened -besides the tour?- and we still don’t know what.
Madonna has two films as director: Filth and wisdoma 2008 comedy-drama set in the UK, and the much-maligned WE, of 2011, on a historical novel about King Edward VIII’s abdication of the British throne to marry divorced American Wallis Simpson.
Meanwhile, the pop diva sells out her shows in minutes. around the world Madonna, The Party Tourwill start from Vancouver (Canada) and will end in December in Amsterdam (Holland), after more than thirty concerts in which he promises to retrace his four decades of career.
The tour aims to immerse the audience in a “artistic journey” for the singer’s career since her first album, Madonnafrom 1983, to the most recent Ms Xof 2019, including a tribute to New York, the city where it all began, according to a release.
“I’m excited explore as many songs as possible in hopes of giving my fans the show they’ve been waiting for” said the 64-year-old artist in the note, which she posted accompanied by a celebrity-filled video.
In the tour announcement video there is a nod to his film truth or Dare (Truth or Dare), where Madonna presides over a table with friends like the actor Black Jacksinger Little Wayne or the comedian Amy Schumerwhich forces her to embark on a greatest hits tour.
