Madonna is looking for the actress who will play her in the cinema. And the test is “exhausting”

AAA Desperately Wanted Madonna. This could be – to paraphrase the film that consecrated her as an actress – the title of the little “drama” that is unfolding in Hollywood: the search for the actress who will play Madonna in the biopic on the life of the singer who will see the same pop star behind the camera. taken, as well as a producer and screenwriter. Currently it seems that three of us are left to contend for the role: Julia Garner, fresh from the success of Inventing Anna on Netflix, Florence Pugh, already seen in Black Widow, and Emma Laird, protagonist of the series Mayor of Kingstown. According to what theHollywood Reporter, it seems that the candidates are undergoing several 11 hour choreography sessions because it seems that Madonna has said that whoever will play her on screen “must be able to do everything”.

At work on the face that will lend her features to the pop star is the casting director Carmen Cub, who is also considering other names, as the protagonist of Euphoria Alexa Demie, Odessa Young (Mother’s Sunday) and even other singers, such as Bebe Rexha. A source close to insiders revealed that this quadrille of proofs is proving to be “exhausting”: the process has been going on for months and, according to the well-informed, the candidates would be tested above all by the regime of very heavy choreographies submitted by Madonna herself, as well as by the readings of the script in the presence of the director herself, also very attentive to the timbre of the voice.

On the film, written by Madonna herself first together with Oscar winner Diablo Cody, the screenwriter of Juno who would later decide to abandon the project, and then together with Erin Cressida Wilson, very little is known: theonly confirmed information is that history should culminate with the historian Blonde Ambition Tour from 1990, embellished with different sequences of dances and songs. Madonna will be the director, producer, scriptwriter and co-writer of this project, 100% involved in the making of a film that on paper seems very strong and that represents a piece of life that she hopes will come out perfect. “The reason I’m doing this is because a lot of people have tried to write films about me, but they’re still men,” Madonna explained to Jimmy Fallon last October. Meanwhile, it is news for a few hours that she will be the actress Evan Rachel Wood to interpret Madonna in Weirdthe new film focused on the life and career of singer-songwriter and comedian Al Yankovich, which is being shot in recent weeks.
