- Madonna revealed that her planned biopic, initially titled Who’s That Girl and set to star Julia Garner, was shelved by Universal Studios after two years of development.
- The project's collapse stemmed from a “falling out” over budget constraints, with Madonna asserting that her 'extraordinary life' necessitated a substantial budget that Universal was reluctant to provide.
- Madonna suggested shooting the film in Serbia to reduce costs, but Universal Studios reportedly doubted her willingness to stay there for an extended period and appeared disinclined towards the proposal.
- Following the Universal project's failure, Madonna endeavoured to adapt her life story into a series for Netflix, but encountered difficulties in reacquiring her original script and securing a suitable showrunner.
- After approximately eight or nine months of development, the Netflix series was also shelved, prompting Madonna to redirect her creative focus back to music, with her new album, Confessions on a Dance Floor: Part II, scheduled for release on 3 July.
