Although all is well on the music front, it was recently revealed that the Madonna biopic starring Julia Garner has been shelved indefinitely while she prepares to tour.
The Vogue singer was set to direct the movie about her rise to stardom for Universal Pictures, but Variety states that it is no longer in development.

Although a movie in the near future seems unlikely, a source told the outlet that Madonna still hopes to one day direct a movie about her ‘extraordinary’ life.
Garner, a multi-Emmy and Golden Globe-winning actress, has been said to have endured a grueling audition process to land the role.
The highly anticipated project has been teased by hitmaker Devil Pray since 2020 when he announced it was in the works.
Over the course of the past three years, he’s bested a number of screenwriters, including Academy Award winner Diablo Cody.
“I have a very long script that I have a hard time shortening,” Madonna admitted last summer. I’ve been cutting it down, but it’s like cutting off my limbs.
