Madonna\u2019s biopic has been cancelled<\/p>\n

While talking to Interview Magazine, the famed 67 year old singer confirmed that she has officially scrapped the idea of her biopic. Mentioning concerns about the overall budget, the singer shared, “We had a falling-out, me and Universal, regarding budget. I’ve had an extraordinary life. I’ve had a huge life, so I needed a big budget. You know what I mean?\u201dAfter the film idea was dropped a popular OTT platform was interested in investing in the biopic as a miniseries. Reportedly, actress Julia Garner<\/a> was slated to star in it, however, this project also fell through. The singer shared that she was told she had to pay a large amount to the initial studio company interested in the project if she wanted the biopic done.The thought of a series on the other hand was quite overwhelming for her, to which she added, “You have to meet a lot of writers and find the right showrunner. I was like, ‘Good thing I have another job, because I need to create. I need to do what I was put on this earth to do.\u2019\u201dShe also commented, “Maybe they (the production house) just didn’t believe in me. One of their first reactions was, ‘We don’t believe you’d stay in Serbia more than four days.’ And I said, ‘Did you read the script?’ My whole life has been survival. I’m not going there for a holiday.\u201dOn the work front, while the fate of her biopic remains uncertain, Madonna has been continuing her musical career with the release of \u2018Confessions II\u2019 last month.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Madonna has confirmed that her biopic project has officially been cancelled.
