Julia Garner claims plans for longawaited Madonna biopic changes “every hour”

Julia Garner says the status of the long-planned Madonna biopic remains uncertain, changing “every hour”. Her comments leave open whether the film will be made, after years of shifting plans and reported disagreements over its budget.

Garner, who was previously set to play Madonna, said she would like the film to happen but that the decision was not hers, and that she had become friends with the singer. Madonna has said Universal Studios would not provide the budget she wanted, and that she even proposed filming in Serbia to reduce costs. A separate Netflix series with director Shawn Levy also fell through.
