Madonna is set to take the helm of the biographical film, which she is co-writing with Diablo Cody, Universal Pictures confirmed.
In a statement released Tuesday, Madonna said: “I want to convey the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer – a human being, trying to make her way in this world. The 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’s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision.”
Amy Pascal is set to produce under her Pascal Pictures name alongside Madonna herself while Sara Zambreno and Guy Oseary will executive produce.
In a recent Instagram Live, Madonna said that the movie will touch on her songwriting, singing and acting.
