The 'Material Girl' is collaborating with 'Juno' screenwriter Diablo Cody on the screenplay, but there have been no casting announcements.
The film will cover such aspects of the singer’s life as her early years as a dancer in Manhattan; her friendships with artists like
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Andy Warhol and Keith Haring; her uncomfortable encounters with “Evita” composer Andrew Lloyd Webber; and the conflict over the religious imagery in her “Like a Prayer” video, according to“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,” Madonna said in a statement. “The focus of this film will always be music. Music has kept me going and art has kept me alive.
