In 2020, Universal Pictures and the legendary queen Madonna have negotiated a cooperation, and the two sides will cooperate to shoot the biopic “Blond Ambition” about Madonna’s early experience.
“Blond Ambition” tells the story of how Madonna, who moved to New York in the early 1980s, struggled to release her first album in a misogynistic industry environment at the time, and how she faced the sudden conflict between her fame and her love life.
The casting for “Blond Ambition” is in the final stages and the following actors are still in the running: Julia Garner (“The Assistant” “Ozark”), Florence Pugh (“Little Women”), Alexa Demie (“Euphoria”), Odessa Young (“Mothering Sunday”), Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”), and cabaret performers Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira.

The candidates go through ultra-intensive dance training, sometimes up to 11 hours a day with Madonna’s choreographers. After that, I will practice dancing and audition with Madonna herself.
It is said that “Blond Ambition” will have a lot of singing and dancing scenes, whichever actress wins the role in the end, will also undergo a lot of training before the start.
Interestingly, the biopic Madonna decided to direct and co-write the film herself. Diablo Cody and “Spider-Man: Homecoming” producer Amy Pascal serve as producers.
Madonna moved from Michigan to New York in 1978 to develop her career, and after a failed first taste of rock, she turned to dance and pop.
After achieving good results with several dance songs, she successfully released her first self-titled album “Madonna” in 1983.
The hit singles “Holiday”, “Borderline” and “Lucky Star” in it made her famous, and only after the “fairy album” “Like a Virgin”.
Friends who are familiar with Madonna may know that “Blonde Ambition” actually came from the theme of Madonna’s world tour in 1990, in conjunction with the release of her fourth album that year and the most talked about album “Like a Prayer”.
“Like a Prayer” is full of sexual innuendos and challenges to Catholicism from the song MV to the tour concept. It was undoubtedly a controversial “ambition” at the time.
This world tour (Blond Ambition World Tour Live) also successfully won her the Grammy Award for best feature-length music video that year.
Madonna, who will turn 64 this year, has not completely stopped her singing career. She directed the feature films “Filth and Wisdom” “W.E.” in 2008 and 2011.
Madonna is not a novice in filmmaking, so it is reasonable for Universal to agree to make her own story.
