      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?

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

    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?
