Madonna is preparing to strike a pose on the big screen after reviving her plans for a big-screen biopic.
I can reveal the Queen of Pop is focusing on the film of her life again after she put the project on ice in January last year so to work on her massive Celebration tour.
Ozark actress Julia Garner, I am told, is still on board to play Madge, secretly taking dancing and singing lessons for the past year.
Madonna is now lining up meetings with Universal Pictures to get the ball rolling again, with the hope they can finalise the script this summer.
A Hollywood source said: “Madonna has only just finished her tour but in her mind it is on to the next project and fulfilling her dream of getting the biopic made.
"Julia is still her lead actress and they have remained in touch for the past year, talking through ideas.
“They are committed to creating some magic.
"Madonna feels that Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody and Elton John’s Rocketman biopics have paved the way for her.
“She wants to make this more unique and dramatic than those.
“A range of secret meets are being organised with Universal Pictures to get the project nailed down.
"There is a lot to work on with locking down the rest of the cast, arranging shoots and completing the script but the hope is that they can start filming in the next 12 months.”
Madonna is also going to direct the film, after saying she wanted to be hands on with the project.
She decided on the movie after learning someone else was going to make a film about her life.
Madge said: “I’ve had an extraordinary life, I must make an extraordinary film.
“It was also a preemptive strike because a lot of people were trying to make movies about me. Mostly misogynistic men.
“So I put my foot in the door and said, ‘No one’s going to tell my story, but me’.”
Not many people fancy risking the wrath of Madonna.
And now she’s back on the ball, you can bet she’ll be running a tight ship.
