Madonna is saying goodbye to her highly anticipated biopic.
“The Power of Good-Bye” singer recently stated that production for a film based on her life was halted over financial and creative differences with Universal Pictures.
“I was supposed to make a movie about my life,” Madonna told Interview in a story published June 22. “I worked on my script for two years and spent two years at Universal Studios with the line producers doing budgeting and casting.”
“We had a falling out, me and Universal, regarding budget because I needed—I’ve had an extraordinary life,” she added. “I’ve had a huge life, so I needed a big budget.”
The “Vogue” hitmaker claimed that though she presented solutions for lowering the project’s budget, they ultimately weren’t able to move forward.
“They couldn’t get their heads around it,” she explained. “I found a way to make it for less money in Serbia, but I don’t think they were into the idea of—I don’t know. Maybe they just didn’t believe in me.”
