Madonna says her planned biopic, which she wrote and intended to direct and in which Julia Garner was attached to play Madonna, was ultimately shelved after she “fell out” with Universal. In interviews, Madonna describes being left “in limbo” following the dispute, and says the project did not move forward as a result. The reports focus on the circumstances around the shelving of the film, which had drawn attention for Garner’s attachment to star. According to Madonna’s account, the breakdown in relations with the studio disrupted the project’s progress and led to its cancellation rather than continued development. While the outlets report her characterization of what happened, there is no additional detailed timeline or specific publicly disclosed reason for the dispute beyond Madonna’s general explanation. The coverage collectively centers on Madonna’s first public explanation for why the Universal-backed biopic was dropped, and it reiterates that Garner was already linked to the role before the project was set aside.
