The "material girl" has finally made up her mind.
By a series of pictures published on October 20 on her Instagram account, Madonna announces that the script for her biopic is
"almost finished"
.
In the script, Erin Cressida Wilson (
Fur
,
Chloé
) joins Diablo Cody, who won Oscar in 2008 with
Juno
.
As for the realization, the singer, obstinate, goes it alone.
“Nobody knows what I know and what I saw,” she
argues on social networks.

In 2017, a first autobiographical film, called
Blond Ambition
and focused on the artist's youth, was initially in preparation.
Madonna has expressed her disapproval.
“
I am the only one who can tell my story.
Anyone else who would give it a try would be a charlatan and a fool.
Looking for instant gratification without getting the job done.
It's a disease in our society, ”
she captioned Instagram.
The project was eventually abandoned.
The idea of a feature film does not displease Madonna, provided she leads the boat.
"Are you ready for the story of my life?" Am I? ”She
asked herself in September 2020, still on her Instagram account, sharing pictures alongside Diablo Cody. With 335 million records sold in her forty-year career, Madonna makes music the common thread of her biopic, which she describes as
"visual autobiography"
.
“I want to share the incredible journey that life has taken me on, as an artist, musician, dancer,”
the 63-year-old singer said in a statement.
“Music will always be at the center of the film. It's the music that keeps me going and the art that keeps me alive. There are so many inspiring stories that no one has heard, and who better than me to tell them? It is essential to share my life in the form of a roller coaster, with my voice and my vision ”
.
While the title and release date remain unknown, a few faces are emerging for the cast. Florence Pugh, seen in the Swedish-American horror film
Midsommar
or recently in
Black Widow
, is approached.
“We haven't decided yet, but she's definitely in the race. She's at the top of the list. If she wants to! ”
Madonna told The
Associated Press
at the premiere of the
Madame X
concert
. For other actresses, playing the artist is synonymous with a role of a lifetime. The actress Anne Winters (
13 Reasons Why
) shows her determination by disguising herself as Madonna at different cult periods of her career.
“I want to play her in her new biopic.
I am told that I have always looked like a young Madonna, I play, I sing, I look like her
”she proclaims on her Instagram account.
Signed at Universal Studios, the feature film about and by Madonna joins the list of biopics focused on other colleagues, in the effigy of Freddie Mercury with
Bohemian Rhapsody
and Elton John with
Rocketman
.
