Madonna’s long-awaited biopic has hit another roadblock as producers dismissed her $100 million budget request, deeming it excessive. Even then, Madonna is determined to fund the project herself, ensuring she retains creative control. She believes this is her one chance to tell her story exactly how she envisions it. Morrissey also insulted Madonna in an interview.
Originally planned as a film, Madonna has decided to rework it into a series, with each episode focusing on a different chapter of her life and career. This format will explore her rise to fame, challenges, and her ever-changing personas tied to her albums.
The biopic has faced delays for years, with previous scripts rejected for failing to meet Madonna’s standards. She scrapped one version entirely and is now committed to her vision, even if it means starting over. On social media, she expressed her frustration with producers pushing her to “downscale,” but she made it clear that she refuses to compromise her artistry.
Madonna asked fans for their opinion on whether the project should remain a movie or become a series, hinting at her preference for a more expansive narrative. Despite the challenges, she is motivated by her creative circle and insists on going “bigger” to share her story in her own bold way.
