The Studio is reportedly resurrecting Madonna biopic starring Julia Garner
Yahoo • • entertainment
Key Points:
- Matt Remick has officially greenlit the long-delayed Madonna biopic, which has been stuck in development for over four years.
- Madonna and Julia Garner, who was originally cast in the canceled film, will now appear in a version of the biopic within season two of Seth Rogen’s meta comedy series, The Studio.
- Italian paparazzi leaked photos of Madonna and Garner filming scenes for the Apple TV show in Venice, explaining recent public sightings of the two lip-syncing "Like A Virgin" on a gondola.
- Originally, Julia Garner was set to star in a Madonna-directed biopic, but the project was canceled when Madonna launched her Celebration Tour, and later Netflix pursued a Madonna limited series without Garner.
- The new approach to the biopic within a comedy series serves as a meta-joke aimed at dedicated movie news fans familiar with the project's complicated history.
