Madonna, widely recognized as the ‘queen of pop', is famed for constantly changing and experimenting with her image, and the same is true for this show. Madonna is expected to return behind the lens in directing a biopic that will feature the gifted Julia Garner as young Madonna. Such an action has been received positively as well as negatively by the lovers of movies and by Madonna herself.
Actually being revealed back in September of 2020, the biopic initially raised eyebrows when the original script by “Juno” writer Diablo Cody failed to materialize. But with Erin Cressida Wilson as the screenwriter in the project, Madonna is still willing to take the chance to have the story on the big screen. This project is now known as ‘Who's That Girl' referencing both the Madonna '87 movie and the song — and seems to be going ahead again.
The verdict regarding Madonna as director has not been all that great in the past, in fact her movies ” W. E. ” and ” Filth and Wisdom” were panned. Nonetheless, it appears that Universal Pictures is ready to trust her direction. It is for this reason that fans may flock to watch Garner, famous for her stellar roles in the well-acclaimed ‘Ozark' and ‘Inventing Anna,' portraying the energetic pop star.
According to some critics and reviews, the film tells the story of Madonna and her fight to achieve stardom in the male dominated world. The singer defined it as a voyage through different aspects of life, including her ‘happy, sad, angry, crazy, good, bad and even ugly side.' [This story is, in fact, the real-life story of the making of a superstar – from the humble beginnings of a young girl to the pinnacle of fame and stardom.
Although the exact date of its release and other actors involved in the picture are not revealed, there is a lot of anticipation surrounding this production. Garner's casting is inspired, and she physically looks like a young Madonna as to make the proceedings more believable.
For example, Madonna recently announced her work on the script on Instagram and people are still looking forward to watching this film which is yet to be materialized.
With Madonna's undeniable star power and Garner's acting prowess, “Who's That Girl” could either be a cinematic triumph or another misstep in Madonna's directorial endeavors. Regardless, this film is poised to be a fascinating exploration of one of the most influential figures in music history, making it a must-watch for fans and cinephiles alike.
