The star will team with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody and producer Amy Pascal to create a film on her rise to stardom
After a nearly four-decade music career, Madonna is getting the biopic treatment under her own direction.
The star will co-write and direct the as-yet-untitled project with the Oscar-winning Juno screenwriter Diablo Cody and Universal producer Amy Pascal, according to the studio.
The project, which Madonna, 62, has teased on Instagram with several shots of writing sessions with Cody on her couch, has yet to reveal a production timeline or casting decisions. Madonna’s direction would break from recent biopic precedent – Bohemian Rhapsody, on Queen, and Rocketman, about Elton John, both involved their stars as peripheral creative consultants rather than storytellers.
