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

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 35 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] MimicJar@lemmy.world 16 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

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?

[–] TwodogsFighting@lemdro.id 11 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

That time she was in Dick Tracy?

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?

[–] Bonus@piefed.social 4 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 2 weeks ago

shes desperate to stay relevant and young, she went with all that plastic surgery all of the sudden.

[–] GMac@feddit.org 6 points 2 weeks ago

Has she run out of her own money? Or does she not believe in it enough to put her hand in her own pocket....?

[–] Sharkticon@lemmy.zip 6 points 2 weeks ago

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

[–] Marthirial@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

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?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 4 points 2 weeks ago

shes so freaky now with all that plastic surgeries.

[–] BucketBong@p.hobo.social 1 points 2 weeks ago

Well, pay for it yourself you miserable cunt.
