Madonna‘s biopic reportedly came across an obstacle that it could not overcome. In a cover story for Interview magazine, the singer claimed that the biopic failed to happen at that time after she and Universal Studios had a “fall out” about the project’s budget. However, now, a source has allegedly claimed that the artist’s involvement in every single aspect of the film was the actual reason behind its collapse.
Sources claim Madonna’s need to oversee every frame became the project’s biggest hurdle
Madonna’s need to oversee every frame of her biopic reportedly turned into the biggest hurdle for the project. As reported by Rob Shuter’s Naughty But Nice, a source told them that “The budget wasn’t the deal-breaker.” The person then explained, “The issue was that every decision had to go through Madonna.” The source further said, “Studios expect collaboration.” The person then claimed, “Madonna wanted control.”
In the meantime, another insider went on to say to the news outlet that “Nobody knows Madonna’s life better than Madonna.” The person continued, “But making a movie about yourself requires distance.” After that, the insider explained, “That’s what was missing.” According to the news outlet, at one point during the making of the project, the artist wished to serve as the director of her own biopic.
Meanwhile, another source said to the news outlet, “A girl from Michigan becomes the most famous female pop star in the world?” The person continued, “That’s an incredible movie.” The source then claimed, “The story isn’t the problem.” In the meantime, another insider told the news outlet, “The movie can still happen.”
The person continued, “But it needs a great writer, a strong director, and enough freedom to tell the truth.” The insider then claimed, “Madonna has spent her entire career controlling the narrative.” The person continued, “That’s part of what made her a superstar.” “And part of what stopped this movie from getting made,” also added the insider.
