Madonna’s biopic gets back on track: Singer announces new title and details

Of course, it wasn’t a vacation at all, but her massive, career-spanning, record-breaking Celebration Tour, which saw the icon perform 81 shows around the world between October 2023 and May 2024, culminating with a free concert in Rio de Janeiro that attracted the largest audience. always for an independent concert.

Seemingly buoyed by the success of the tour and the chance to reconnect with fans around the world, Madonna announced on Instagram on Tuesday that she is back at work on her biopic. And in case you doubt it, she is sitting right next to a typewriter! The film will not write itself!

To be honest, the staged photoshoot is pure camp, and we have to laugh at least a little. But the post does confirms a few details – and gives a taste of a few more!

“I need a lot of bandz to make this………..OKAY 🍸💵🤑,” Madonna writes in the caption, alluding to the song “Okay” by rapper JT (formerly of The City Girls), which serves as the soundtrack to the photo series in her post.

This tells us that while Madonna is excited to get back to work on the biopic, she needs a lot of money to actually make it happen. Universal Pictures was previously on board as a producer on the project, but it seems she parted ways with them when the film was postponed indefinitely last year.

And you know what? If you want to attract new investors and prove to people that you want to make a real movie, it’s probably not a bad idea to take some photos with the script in hand.

Speaking of the script: Attentive followers have noticed that on the front page “M. UNTITLED” is crossed out and above it in red “WHO’S THAT GIRL” is written.

Is who is she the new official title of the Madonna biopic, which previously had the working title Little Sparrow? That would make sense considering that “Who’s That Girl?” is the name of the singer’s chart-topping single in 1987. And the name of the 1987 comedy by James Foley, in which she played the leading role alongside Griffin Dunne.

For the sake of completeness, we’d like to note that we’re concerned that it might be a little confusing to have two Madonna films with the same name decades apart. But we’re not in charge, are we?

Anyway, the script in the Instagram post has the words “rewritten by Madonna and ECW,” which we can assume refers to her and the previously announced screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson (who wrote the script in 2002). secretary) revised the original draft by Diablo Cody.

And Wilson is not the only talent still on board: As confirmed by EWGarner is still keen to play the lead role! So all those long, hard hours she spent at Madonna Boot Camp weren’t in vain after all! The busy actress already has some high-profile projects under her belt – including a dream role in Marvel’s Fantastic Four Fresh start – but we have to assume that she can free up some time in her schedule for Madge.

Madonna had previously stated that the biopic would follow her “struggle as an artist trying to survive as a woman in a man’s world” and her rise to superstardom.

There is no word yet on which other real people from Madonna’s life will be featured in the story of who is shealthough just last June, newly outed actress and It Girl Julia Fox confirmed that she had had meetings a few years ago about possibly playing the artist’s long-time friend, Debi Mazar.

As for the men in Madonna’s life, well, we have some ideas!

That’s all we know for sure so far, anyway, but considering we thought the film was still “stuck” in development hell, we suppose any news is good news. In other words, the Madonna biopic is back – and about to “die another death” – and you can be sure we’ll be there… no matter when it comes out!
