Earlier this week, it was announced that a Madonna biopic titled âBlond Ambitionâ had been picked up by Universal. Some fans were excited by the news, but it appears the Material Girl herself isnât here for it.
On Tuesday, Madge shared an old photo of herself on Instagram, and seemed to hint at her disapproval of the film in her caption.
âNobody knows what I know and what I have seen. Only I can tell my story,â she wrote. âAnyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society.â
Of course, the âHolidayâ singer didnât mention the biopic by name, but her message seems pretty clear. Letâs just say we wouldnât want to be in the screenwriterâs shoes right now.
The script for âBlond Ambitionâ topped 2016âs Black List, the annual survey that ranks well-liked but unproduced Hollywood screenplays. The film, written by Elyse Hollander, will reportedly focus on the early days of Madonnaâs career as she worked to build a name for herself while navigating misogyny within the music industry, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
Further details about the project are pretty sparse â thereâs been no word on casting, production schedule or possible directors â but some outlets are already campaigning actresses for the main role.
A rep for the pop icon did not respond to HuffPostâs initial request for comment regarding the film or any potential involvement on Madonnaâs part.
