Over the past few years, the title of Madonna‘s biopic has raised questions of ‘will it’ or ‘won’t it’. However, the singer has now officially confirmed that despite his best efforts to keep the project alive, his biopic has been cancelled. Here’s what we know about the story.
Madonna’s biopic has been cancelled
Speaking to Interview Magazine, the 67-year-old singer confirmed that he has abandoned the idea of a biopic. Citing concerns about the overall budget, the singer said, “We had a disagreement, me and Universal, about the budget. I had an amazing life. I had a lot of life, so I needed a lot of money. You know what I mean?”After the idea of the film was dropped, the popular OTT platform was interested in investing in the biopic as a miniseries. He says, Madam Julia Garner was scheduled to appear, however, the project fell through. The singer shared that he was told to pay a lot of money to the first studio company interested in the project if he wanted the biopic to be made.The idea of a series on the other hand was too heavy for him, which he added, “You have to meet a lot of writers and find a good showman. I was like, ‘Well I have another job, because I need to create. I have to do what I was put on this earth. “He added, “Maybe they (the production house) didn’t believe me. One of their first reactions was, ‘We don’t believe you can stay in Serbia for more than four days.’ And I said, ‘Did you read the script?’ My whole life has been survival. I never go on vacation.”On the job, while the future of her biopic is unknown, Madonna continues her musical career with the release of ‘Confessions II’ last month.
