Emmy Award-winning actress Julia Garner<\/a> is still hopeful that the Madonna biopic<\/a>, which she was set to star in, will eventually get the green light again after it was scrapped in January<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Over the weekend, Garner spoke to Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> the 2023 Oscars afterparty about the film\u2019s fate. When asked if she hoped the biopic would ever end up happening, Garner replied, \u201cYeah, yeah.\u201d Careful in her responses, the Inventing Anna<\/em><\/a> star said, \u201cI don\u2019t want to tell too much. I want to keep things\u2026 yeah, fingers crossed.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Madonna<\/a> movie is no longer in development at Universal Pictures when the music legend (who was set to direct it) announced her career-spanning<\/a> Celebration World Tour<\/a>, which quickly sold out shows in cities like London, New York City and Paris. Sources told Variety<\/em><\/a> that Madonna’s sole focus now is her tour, but still remains committed to making a film about her life one day.<\/p>\n

After a grueling audition process, Garner was offered the leading role of Madonna<\/a> over other high-profile candidates like Don\u2019t Worry Darling<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Florence Pugh<\/a>, Euphoria<\/em><\/a>\u2019s Alexa Demie<\/a>, Odessa Young and Bebe Rexha, who all attended a singing and dancing \u201cbootcamp.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna<\/a> was set to both co-write and direct the project, which would have highlighted the \u201cuntold story of Madonna as an artist, a musician and a dancer who tries to make her way in this world.” It was going to be written alongside Academy Award-winner Diablo Cody, the screenwriter behind cult-followed films like Juno\u00a0<\/em>and\u00a0Jennifer\u2019s Body<\/em>. Little Women<\/em>\u00a0producer and Academy Award nominee Amy Pascal was among the team of producers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to convey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer\u2013a human being, trying to make her way in this world,\u201d Madonna said in a\u00a0statement<\/a>. \u201cThe focus of this film will always be music. Music has kept me going and art has kept me alive. There are so many untold and inspiring stories and who better to tell it than me. It\u2019s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision.\u201d<\/p>\n

Madonna teased script sessions with Cody via\u00a0Instagram<\/a>\u00a0back in 2020, asking followers in the caption, \u201cAre you ready for the story of my life\u2026Am I?\u201d She divulged, \u201cI keep forgetting that I\u2019m writing about myself. I can\u2019t make this s**t up! But in fact, I don\u2019t need to. The truth will set you free and (can) also be devastating!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31863,"featured_media":72846,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,3324,16],"yoast_head":"\nJulia Garner Holds Out Hope for
