Then perhaps you should pony up the money to do it?

Or she could just not do it. It's not like the world desperately needs a Madonna biopic. I don't blame her for playing hardball with the Hollywood studios.

Plus after the success of "Michael" I expect Madonna can play hardball. Madonna certainly has had a career on par with all the recent successful musician biopics. The success of "Michael" shows these films are still big money makers.

If they she believes it is a money maker then she would invest the money herself.
She knows it is a risk and wants someone to risk their money for her profit. Capitalism 101. It's how Musk got to be the richest man on Earth.

Regarding musk: yeah no. He is not a self made man. He got there by having a rich family (that got rich by exploiting people in a slave like setting) and then took risks with said capital. By knowing the right people these risks are lower than Madonnas and also the industry is a different one where the rewards are nucu higher than with a movie.

Is there anything worthwhile not already covered on the documentary Weird: The Al Yankovic Story though?

There was a time when Madonna was a trailblazer. But we are at the point where she is just a mess. As someone who still loves her early works, I can't stand her music now. And what the hell is that MAGA face she has?

One of her songs is just a whole-ass sample of an Abba song.

Damn I would have loved to see how Hollywood handled her time as a drug kingpin.

Has she run out of her own money? Or does she not believe in it enough to put her hand in her own pocket....?
Tollana1234567@lemmy.today · 4 pts · 61d
shes so freaky now with all that plastic surgeries.

Just the AI/CGI of fucking a horse is going to need deep pockets... If you know what I mean.
Also, isn't there a Maddona biopic already?
