Julia Garner Believes Madonna Biopic Can Still Move Forward

Madonna's fans have been eagerly awaiting a biopic about her life, but recent developments suggest that the project may not be moving forward after all. The 'Celebration Tour' will take the Queen of Pop across North America and Europe later this year, but it seems that the film adaptation has been scrapped.

According to Variety, sources close to the production revealed that the cancellation decision was made in late 2022, before Madonna's announcement about her upcoming world tour. Although there has been no official comment from Madonna or Universal Pictures, insiders claim that the singer remains committed to reviving the project with another backer at some point in the future.

In an unexpected twist, Julia Garner, known for her role in 'Who is Anna?', was reportedly considered to play Madonna in the biopic. The actress had already auditioned for the part and even participated in a live writing session on Instagram with screenwriter Erin Cressida Wilson in late 2020.

The project initially involved a collaboration between Madonna and Diablo Cody, who won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay for 'Juno'. However, it seems that the film is no longer in development at Universal Pictures. Fans of Madonna can still look forward to seeing her perform live on stage as she embarks on her extensive world tour.

Despite the setback, Julia Garner remains optimistic about the biopic's future, suggesting that it could still move forward with another backer. Only time will tell if this highly anticipated project will come to fruition.
