Julia Garner's Madonna Biopic Changes Status 'Every Hour'

Garner says the film’s future still changes hour by hour, and no official production restart has been announced.

  • Actress Julia Garner provided an ambiguous update on the long-delayed Madonna biopic during a CBS Sunday Morning interview this weekend, noting the project's status changes "every hour, in a way."
  • First announced in 2020, the Universal Pictures feature film stalled indefinitely in 2023 after disagreements regarding the production budget between Madonna and the studio.
  • Madonna explained she needed a large budget reflecting her "extraordinary life," but Universal questioned her commitment to film in Serbia for four days, citing budget concerns.
  • Despite the stalled project, Garner and Madonna recently appeared together in the comedy series The Studio, with Garner stating, "I made a great friend."
  • As musician biopics like Michael continue to see success, fans await updates on whether the long-gestating project will move forward, while Garner maintains she remains a dedicated fan of the pop icon.
