Madonna (63) is still developing a film about her own life. The singer has already put the story on paper, but the script is still far too long. “It’s hard to make it shorter,” Madonna tells Variety. “It’s like chopping off my own limbs.”
“No one is going to tell my story but me”
The 63-year-old Madonna believes that the ‘extraordinary life’ she has also deserves an ‘extraordinary film’. She said she had to do it herself, because ‘a lot of people’ had already tried to make a film about her. “Mostly misogynistic men,” she says. “So I put my foot in the door and said, ‘Nobody is going to tell my story but me.'”
Almost two years ago it became clear that Madonna had set her sights on her own biopic. The film, which does not yet have a name, should be about the early years of her career. The auditions started last month. According to Variety , there is a good chance that actress Julia Garner, known for the Netflix series Ozark and Inventing Anna , will play the title role.
