Julia Garner, Sydney Sweeney, And Barbie Ferreira Have All Reportedly Auditioned For The Madonna Biopic
The Madonna biopic, co-written by Diablo Cody (maybe) and directed by Madge herself, continues to chug along. Last we heard, Uncut Jahhhms star Julia Fox went to dinner with Madonna to “talk about” the movie. Now The Ankler is reporting that Euphoria actresses Sydney Sweeney and Barbie Ferreira have officially auditioned, as well as Ozark and Inventing Anna star Julia Garner. If the role requires snot, tears, and tits, go with Sydney. If they want more tough New Yorker, go with Julia. And if Madge wants to cast a sycophant who’s easy to boss around, don’t go with Barbie.
Daniel Radcliffe Will Play Weird Al Yankovic In A Biopic
Ray. Bird. Selena. Amadeus. Weird? Hell yes! Of course, Weird Al Yankovic belongs among the pantheon of great artists with first name recognition deserving of a feature-length biopic. And who better to play him than recent Golden Globe winner Nicole Kidman? Nobody, that’s right. But Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is being developed to stream exclusively on The Roku Channel, so obviously they can’t afford her. That means Daniel Radcliffe will be the one to sport a tragic wig and endure months of cynical skepticism that he doesn’t have what it takes to bring Weird Al to life. Nobody is going to buy a magical wizard boy as a professional accordion player. He doesn’t have the range.
Madonna Has Hinted That Julia Fox Might Be Involved With Her Biopic
Despite a rocky start (and let’s face it, a rocky rest of the way too), Madonna is still full steam ahead on her biopic. The only missing puzzle piece is who will play Madonna. I know in Madonna’s heart she probably thinks the best person for the job is: Madonna. And I would have to agree because I’ve seen Madonna’s acting credits, I know she can pull it off. But a younger actress will be hired. And if Madonna’s most recent Instagram post is any clue, she might be eyeing Kanye West’s latest human project Julia Fox for the gig.
Rooney Mara Will Star As Audrey Hepburn In An Upcoming Biopic Directed By Luca Guadagnino
Because not every movie can be Spider-Man, Hollywood has gone back to one of their more reliable wells. It’s time to dig through the catalog of stars past, and see who is next up in the running to be the subject of a buzzy prestige biopic. And that person is beloved Oscar-winning actress and UNICEF humanitarian Audrey Hepburn! And according to Deadline, this biopic’s Audrey will be played by Rooney Mara.
The Trailer For The Unauthorized Celine Dion Biopic “Aline” Is Out
The trailer for the unauthorized Celine Dion sorta-biopic Aline is here! It stars French (not Québécois) actress Valérie Lemercier, who also wrote and directed this “fiction freely inspired by the life of Celine Dion.” The character is named Aline Dieu (French for ‘God’), and 57-year-old Valérie plays her from age 5 to age 50, with help from some digital de-aging. What in the Irishman?! Continue reading
Jonah Hill Will Play Jerry Garcia In Martin Scorsese’s Grateful Dead Biopic
Jonah Hill is clearly not satisfied with hearing the words “two-time Oscar nominee,” and wants to increase the number to three, or even “Oscar-winner Jonah Hill“, because Deadline has announced that he will be playing the late psychedelic jam band legend Jerry Garcia in a biopic directed by Martin Scorsese for Apple. Of course, the ice cream-gobbling maniac in me got way too excited about this project until I realized with great disappointment it wasn’t a movie about Cherry Garcia. But this is good too, I guess.
