Titled Blonde Ambition, this Madonna movie was written by newcomer Elyse Hollander, with the script previously being the most popular from last year’s Black List of un-produced scripts.
Instead, it will follow Madonna in the early 1980s as she tried to get her first album released, while also dealing with fame, love and the “dismissive attitude of the music industry at the time.”
Universal acquired Hollander’s script, and the movie reportedly won’t be the all-encompassing kind of biopic.
Michael De Luca, Brett Ratner’s Ratpac and John Zaozirny from Bellevue Productions are producing the project.
