Madonna stops work on her resume. what is the reason?

Speculation about a suspension of work on Madonna’s movie biopic surfaced a few days ago, when the star announced that she was going on tour. Although the singer has yet to comment on the matter, sources say that while her priority will undoubtedly be the upcoming tour, she will definitely one day be behind her bio camera.

The project was announced in 2020. Madonna personally worked on the script. She co-wrote the first version with Diablo Cody (“Juno”), and the second with Erin Cressida Wilson (“Secretary”). The movie was supposed to tell about the beginnings of her career and the way she went through to climb to the top of the charts. The story was supposed to end in the early 90s, during the famous Blonde Ambition tour. In June, it was reported that the main role went to the well-known Julia Garner from the TV series “Ozark” and the drama “The Assistant”.
