Two-time Golden Globe winner Madonna renewed hope that her “deleted,” self-directed Universal Pictures biopic — titled Little Sparrow — would be resurrected after she and three-time Emmy winner Julia Garner hung out in Manhattan’s Flatiron neighborhood on Sunday night.
The 64-year-old Queen of Pop – with 51.3 million followers on social media – Installed a photo of herself munching on French fries with the 29-year-old actress, declaring, “B**** we are Madonna!”
After the Met Gala, Michigan native Madge and Bronx native Julia attended famed lensman Steven Klein’s 58th birthday at the immersive gourmet restaurant Journey featuring “floor-to-ceiling and tabletop 360 projection mapping” — according to the New York Post.
It’s been almost a year since Garner was first attached to star in the biopic, but she called it quits ET on March 12 she was still optimistic: ‘I don’t want to say too much. I want to keep things… yes, thumbs up!’
On August 26, the gossip site DeuxMoi shared an anonymous tip indicating that Sparrow was a “nightmare production” because of the “script and constant changes” and “might not happen” because it “costs a lot of money.”

Madonna co-wrote the gritty script with Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody, who was later replaced by Independent Spirit Award-winning screenwriter Erin Wilson (The Girl on the Train, Secretary).
The seven-time Grammy winner met with Uncut Gems alum Julia Fox last year to discuss the prospect of playing her longtime friend Debi Mazar.
Worryingly, Madonna has previously spearheaded two dismal rated box office bombs – Dirt and wisdom in 2008 and WE in 2011.
Regardless of Sparrow getting the go-ahead, the Ozark star wrapped up her role in Natalie Erika James’ psychological horror film Apartment 7A on June 4, alongside Alone Together star Jim Sturgess and two-time Oscar winner Dianne Wiest.
Meanwhile, the self-made superstar — who is determined to “be more like her old self” — is hard at work rehearsing for her sold-out 81-date The Celebration Tour, which will be her biggest production yet in celebration of her four-decade career.
Rehearsals began the week of April 6 for Madonna’s 12th concert tour, her first greatest hits tour and the first time she is not promoting a specific studio album.
The Hang Up singer is scheduled to kick off The Celebration Tour on July 15 at Vancouver’s Rogers Arena with RuPaul’s Drag Race #8 champion Bob the Drag Queen as her opening act.
I hope things are better this time around, as Madonna’s knee and hip injuries forced her to cancel 14 shows from her previous 75-date The Madame X Tour in 2019-2020.

On February 27, 2020, the twice-divorced mother of six injured her coccyx “when a chair was literally pulled out from under” her on the Le Grand Rex stage in Paris and called herself “a broken doll held together with tape and glue .’
“If only the knees didn’t twist and the cartilage didn’t tear and nothing hurt and the tears never fell from our eyes,” Madonna lamented on Instagram at the time.
“Unfortunately, though, and thank God for this important reminder that we’re human.”
As the coronavirus pandemic put the final nail in her tour’s coffin, the Material Girl finally decided to have knee surgery in April 2020, followed by hip surgery in November 2020, as well as “regenerative treatment for my missing cartilage.”
