“I can’t make this in the normal way”: Madonna breaks silence on stalled biopic
Madonna has shared an update on her highly anticipated biopic. Back in 2023, Variety announced that the film – which was set to star Ozark’s Julia Garner – was no longer moving forward at Universal Pictures. “Insiders familiar with Madonna said her sole focus is the tour,” said the news outlet, “but she remains committed to making a film about her life one day.” Over the last year, the Queen of Pop has remained relatively quiet about the film and its future.
However, that all changed on 18 November when Madge took to Instagram to share an exciting new update. “After struggling for days in LA, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn’t make my film (I’ve been working on it for 4 years!!!),” she wrote. “Downsize, downscale, think smaller they say.
I realized that everything in my life is going to be challenged—no easy rides for me. I guess I should be grateful.. it forces me to think outside of the box.
I did not have a normal life. I cannot make this in the normal way.” Madonna also praised her “creative friends” in LA, who she said gave her the fuel to keep pushing forward. “We all agreed that we need to be even more fearless!!!
