Madonna’s Biopic Is Seemingly Back in the Works

Is Madonna’s biopic back in the works? A new Instagram post seems to imply so.

The Queen of Pop took to social media on Tuesday (July 16) to share a slideshow of photos in which she’s seen posing with a typewriter, writing a screenplay titled Who’s That Girl, in reference to her 1987 film and song of the same name. While the script is blurred, there are circles and notes indicating edits.

“Need A-lot of Bandz to make this………..OKAY 🍸💵🤑,” she captioned the post. “(Story of my life).” Madonna has yet to confirm if the post is, in fact, alluding to the upcoming film.

In January 2023, it was announced that the biopic was on hold at Universal Pictures for Madonna to focus on her global Celebration Tour.

The film, initially announced in 2020, was set to delve into the life and career of the beloved musician, and Inventing Anna actress Julia Garner was rumored to have been offered the role of portraying the pop superstar. According to reports at the time, Garner took part in a long process to snag the role, which included sessions with the singer’s choreographer, as well as choreography, singing and reading sessions with Madonna herself. Other actresses who auditioned for the coveted role include Florence Pugh, Odessa Young and Alexa Demie.

“The reason I’m doing it is because a bunch of people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re always men,” Madonna said of the biopic in October during an appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
