      The ‘Material Girl’ singer and producers behind her upcoming biopic are reportedly looking for a new screenwriter after the Oscar-winning scribe quit due to creative differences.

      Apr 3, 2021

      AceShowbiz –
      Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody has reportedly quit the new Madonna biopic.

      The brains behind the “Juno” and “Young Adult” scripts has spent weeks working with Madonna on the screenplay last year (20) only to step down over alleged creative differences.

      “Madonna is understandably very particular about how she wants it to be. She’s a perfectionist and because it is about her life, she is being very careful about how things come across,” a source told Britain’s The Sun newspaper. “Diablo needed more freedom to be able to make it work and ultimately decided she couldn’t contribute any more.”

      Universal Pictures bosses are now said to be looking for a new head writer.

      Madonna, who is also directing the film about her life and career, recently said, “There are so many untold and inspiring stories and who better to tell it than me. It’s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision.”

      No casting has been announced for the project, but “13 Reasons Why” star Anne Winters launched an Instagram campaign last year in hopes to land the lead role.

      The actress began sharing posts of herself sporting looks made famous by the “Material Girl” singer in an effort to get the pop icon’s attention.

      “BLOW UP @madonna Instagram guys – I wanna play her in her new biopic,” she wrote in one post. “I’ve been told I look like young Madonna forever, I act I sing I look like her…. cmon now.”

      “Since covid – casting and film business has been whack af (as f***). So I’m trying a new tactic. #hireme lol @madonna,” she added in another.

      Madonna Hints on Secret Film Project With Diablo Cody

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Like a Prayer’ hitmaker has shared a black-and-white video of her discussing points from her decades-long career with the ‘Juno’ screenwriter who types away on a laptop.
      Aug 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Madonna is headed behind the camera as she teased a new project with screenwriter Diablo Cody.
      The singer and actress, who won the Best Actress – Motion Picture Musical or Comedy prize at the 1997 Golden Globe Awards for her performance in “Evita”, teased she’s reviving her film career, alongside Cody – best known for her Oscar-winning 2007 movie script for “Juno”.
      Taking to Instagram, the hitmaker shared a black-and-white video, showing her sitting on the couch as the writer types away on a laptop.
      “When you’re stuck in a house with multiple injuries what do you do? Write a screenplay with Diablo Cody about…” she captioned the post, alongside a string of emojis relating to film and music.
      While the star didn’t reveal any further details, fans began to speculate the pair was working on a biopic project, as the two discussed points from Madonna’s decades-long career, as they sat in front of a table covered in carefully laid out journals and notebooks.
      “The garters were over the suit bottoms, right?” Cody asked Madonna in the video, referring to a particular look from her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour.
      “Yeah,” Madonna answered. “Straight pin-striped pants sit beneath the corset, it’s cut high-waisted on the leg, the garters come down here, cone bra zipped up the front and then the double-breasted suit coat goes over it.”

      The new project comes amid reports Madonna is set to sign an eight-figure deal to return to Warner Records, where she began her career, after splitting with Interscope following the release of her “Madame X” album last year (19).

      The ‘Material Girl’ hitmaker is returning to her former label, nearly a decade after leaving the company to sign a record deal with Interscope in 2011.
      Aug 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Madonna is reportedly set to return to Warner Records with a new, eight-figure deal on the table.
      According to Britain’s The Sun newspaper, the “Material Girl” star, who quit Warner in 2011 to ink a three-album deal with Interscope, is now in search of a new label and is plotting to return to the company which launched her career in the ’80s.
      A music insider said, “Madonna is still a force to be reckoned with. The fact is, she sells records, people around the world adore her and every label would love to have her on their books.”
      “Now that her deal with Interscope has come to an end, she is a free agent and can choose where to go next – and Warner feels like the best place given their history,” they explained.
      “But Madonna comes at a hefty price. She can command big money and wants to make sure whatever deal she signs is the best thing for her and her music.”
      The star is set for a return to the charts with the release of her new single “Levitating”, with Dua Lipa and Missy Elliott – both of whom are signed to Warner – on Friday (14Aug20).

      The spread of COVID-19 has also affected a number of events in the U.S. with the cancellation of the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas as well as Ultra Music Festival in Miami.
      Mar 10, 2020
      AceShowbiz – Madonna has been forced to scrap an upcoming show in France due to the country’s coronavirus lockdown.
      French officials have banned any public gathering of more than 1,000 people – and that means the pop superstar’s March 10 and 11 concerts at Paris’ Le Grand Rex can’t go ahead as planned.
      Madonna’s “Madame X” tour has been cursed with cancellations and late starts from the get-go, mainly due to Madonna’s health.
      She cancelled a gig at the Le Grand Rex on March 1 due to injuries she sustained in an onstage fall days before.
      The spread of COVID-19 has also claimed the SXSW Festival in Austin, Texas and dates and tours scheduled by Queen, Green Day, Whitesnake, Slipknot, BTS (Bangtan Boys), Mariah Carey and Old Dominion, among others.
      Miami’s Ultra Music Festival has also been called off, while Justin Bieber’s “Changes” tour dates have been downgraded from stadiums to arenas as ticket sales are impacted by coronavirus fears.
