Scrapped Madonna biopic to be a plot point in upcoming season of 'The Studio'

[Teletubby 158,538]

Madonna hasn’t appeared on TV since shooting a cameo on “Will & Grace” in 2003, and she hasn’t starred in a film since 2002’s disastrous remake of “Swept Away.” So it’s no small feat for Rogen to recruit her for “The Studio,” a forensic look at life inside a legacy movie company battling for relevance and survival. What’s more interesting, according to two sources, is how Rogen’s show will use the real-life circumstances around the singer’s scrapped biopic to illustrate the challenges of modern moviemaking. Madonna will appear in a two-episode arc, the sources add.

I would rather the biopic wasn't scrapped  but I'm seriously looking forward to this

That biopic needs to be an 8 episodes limited series. Not sure a movie would cover enough.

Like we really need to see a visual of the $35 urban legend that she created

The script was too dark. The studio wanted something like Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocket Man and she gave them a gritty drama instead and fought execs for years over it. The rights to get the film made expired and then it was sold off to Netflix to develop into a series.

I’m so confused. I swear this gets scrapped and then revived.

I kinda thought she was always sort of too much of a control freak/perfectionist for the biopic to work
