As biopics go, this one is a biggie. After almost 40 years in the public eye, shape-shifting pop queen and destroyer of charts Madonna is finally set to have the early years of her stellar career dramatised for the big screen.
The project’s been in the pipeline for a while – Madonna revealed that she was working on the screenplay with Juno scriptwriter Diablo Cody a couple of years ago – but auditions are now underway, with Madonna documenting the “surreal” process on Instagram. Fan theories suggest that Ozark and Inventing Anna’s Julia Garner is in the running for the lead with Uncut Gems’s Julia Fox allegedly in talks to play Debi Mazar, Madonna’s longtime pal and Goodfellas and Entourage actor.
