Madonna goes (IG) Live
Madonna spent almost half an hour live on Instagram together with screenwriter Erin Wilson last night, talking about her ongoing biopic project and answering questions about new music and going on tour again.
The updates Madonna shared about the biopic took the most part of the live: we learn that she’s tweaking the script but she’s also still pondering over whether it should be released as a long movie or a series – with one year per episode for example – because she has so much to tell. Madonna explained she wants to talk a lot about her childhood.
She complained that people would sit for eight hours binging a series but not sit for an eight hour film. She said: “I’m curious to know would people rather watch a movie of my life like part 1, part 2, part 3 like the godfather 1, godfather 2, godfather 3 kind of thing or would they rather watch a series? So it’s like 1981 is one episode 1982, 1983 – I’m so curious how to present it, this story to people because there is so much.”
She made it very clear she’s a film fan, though: “I love film, I’m a lover of film so it’s hard for me, it’s a conundrum.”
One interesting bit was Madonna discussing the fans’ suggestions for a title. Blonde Ambition (with an e!), What it Feels Like for a Girl, Nobody Knows Me (which she loved a lot, trying to figure out of “have you seen Nobody Knows Me” would sound like), My Name Is Madonna, and Live to Tell were mentioned. Lucky Star (“this is not about luck”), Cherish and Like a Prayer didn’t impressed her much.
Someone suggested Who’s That Girl and she liked it but then she was reminded it had been done before and she said “Oh really?”
Madonna also explained she realised how time consuming the movie project is but she can’t wait to make new music so she’s wondering whether she could do it while working on the biopic. She’s working on something music related with others that is not the remix album or the Swae Lee collaboration. She will definitely go on a world tour again in stadiums and teased about being on stage again with Britney and re-enacting the VMAs kiss.
At one point Erin told Madonna not to make music for a year and to just get the biopic done, which she seemed surprised at.
