Madonna biopic with Julia Garner canceled

The expected biopic about the life of the artist Madonna has been canceled indefinitely after knowing that the singer, who was going to be in charge of directing the film, will make a new world tour.

This same week we learned that michael jackson will have his biopic and will join the illustrious list of musical icons deserving of such distinction, such as Freddie Mercury in ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ or Elvis Presley in ‘Elvis’roles that have exalted the careers of its leading actors (Rami Malek and Austin Butler, respectively) with countless awards and even Oscar Awards. Madonna was going to be the next to join the listbut Universal Pictures has discarded the film after knowing the world tour of the artist.

Julia Garner had been chosen as Madonna Louise Ciccone after an arduous casting process in which he prevailed over names like Florence Pugh (Midsummer’), Alexa Demie, Odessa Young, Emma Laird, Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira.

Speculation about the fate of the film began immediately after it Madonna will announce a world tour last week, selling out in New York, London, Paris and other cities in minutes. Madonna’s entourage has leaked that her only goal is the tour, but she remains committed to making a film about her life one day.

Although announced in 2020, development on the film had dragged on until late 2022. Madonna worked on two script drafts, spanning large stretches of her creative and personal life. A preliminary version was written with Oscar winner Diablo Cody and Erin Cressida Wilson was commissioned for a second draft..

The figure of the artist has just been brought to the big screen in the form of a parody in ‘Weird: The Al Yankovic Story’, where we are presented with a torrid and conflictive romance between Daniel Radcliffe’s Yankovic and Evan Rachel Wood’s Madonna emerged, yes, exclusively from the humorist’s imagination.
