[Madonna biopic scrapped after singer’s world tour announced
The film, which generated an online frenzy
over its gruelling audition process,
was set to star Julia Garner and be
directed by Madonna herself

Directing it herself - that stinks
A much-anticipated Madonna biopic,
directed by the singer herself and starring
the Ozark actor Julia Garner, has been scrapped.
The film, which had been in development
since 2020 with Universal Pictures
and had the working title Little Sparrow,
was set to chronicle Madonna’s
four-decade career spanning music,
cinema and fashion.
According to a Variety report
on Tuesday, Universal pulled out
after Madonna’s announcement
of a global tour last week – one that
encompasses her entire catalogue
and sold out its dates in New York,
Paris and London within minutes.
But unnamed insiders told the
Hollywood Reporter that the film’s
cancellation had been decided
late last year, long before the tour
was announced.
There has been no comment from Universal,
nor from representatives for Madonna or Garner.]
