Madonna shared an impassioned post alleging that producers and agents attempted to force her to “down-scale” and “think smaller” for a planned film about her life.
Despite spending four decades as the Queen of Pop, Madonna has revealed she spent days “struggling” with “producers and agents” attempting to downplay the scope of her long-gestating, self-directed biopic about her life set to star Julia Garner.
Madonna shared an impassioned message to Instagram Monday, in which she revealed that she spent days “listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn’t make my film” after four years of work on the project, which included an initial draft with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody and subsequent revisions by Erin Cressida Wilson — all before Madonna paused the film (then slated for release via Universal) to embark on her Celebration tour in 2023.
The 66-year-old said that those in power wanted her to “downsize-down scale -think smaller” with regard to the project, which reportedly spans her early career in New York City through to her rise to prominence throughout the late ’80s and early ’90s.
