Rocketman
Rocketmandirector Dexter Fletcher wants to helm a Madonna biopic . In light of the ongoing success that ’s been found both critically and at the box part for title likeStraight Outta ComptonandBohemian Rhapsody , the musical biopic has proven itself a solid life history move for film producer and actors alike .
The most recent melodious icon to get the biopic treatment is Elton John , whose narration is now being told inRocketman . While the moving-picture show has yet to be released in the United States , it ’s arrived in some European theaters in circumscribed release . So far , reactions to Taron Egerton ’s portrayal of John have been positivistic , with Egerton of late uncover that while he does n’t yield any tending to reviews , John is really sending him positive reviews on a day-after-day basis .

Having give the public onscreen adaptations of the lifetime of two of the biggest musical icons in rock n ’ roll chronicle , exactly what ’s next for Fletcher is a mystery . Thanks toEW , however , we ’ve learned that the 53 - yr - sure-enough director is most interested in doing a Madonna biopic . tell that the concept of a Madonna film“ … sounds like a real rollercoaster ride”and calling the concept“extraordinary ” , Fletcher went on to add that although he had n’t antecedently been see it , if he was to work on another big blind adaptation of an icon , it would be the Material Girl ’s . allege Fletcher :
“ I ’d do Madonna ! That sounds like a real rollercoaster drive ! It would be extraordinary … I do n’t know how glad she ’d be about that [ thought ] … But what an over-the-top life that would be . If I was to undertake any other icon like that , it would be her . She ’s extraordinary . ”
Indeed , Madonna has lead the sorting of biography and establish the kind of calling that could work astonishingly well as a film . The 60 - year - onetime instrumentalist has been a melodic trailblazer , controversial groundbreaker , women ’s and LGBTQ right counselor-at-law , and a powerful part model for many over the course of her renowned career . The bare mind of a Madonna biopic is a powerful one , but unfortunately for Madonna fans , it ’s unlikely to happen any clock time soon – at least if Madonna has any say on the matter . Back in 2017 after Universal announcedthey would be setting to work onBlonde Ambition – their take on Madonna ’s early twenty-four hour period in New York City , the pop - star took to herInstagramaccount , writing :
“ Nobody knows what I know and what I have reckon . Only I can evidence my storey . Anyone else who try is a charlatan and a fool . look for instant gratification without doing the work . This is a disease in our society . ”
It ’s not hard to imagine a day when a Madonna biopic is a reality , however it appears that if there ’s ever go to be one that ’s abide by Madonna , it ’ll require substantial input and consideration from the artist herself . And really , any lawful fan would n’t want anything less . Given Madonna ’s apparent conclusion to tell her own story as well as her past experience as a conductor , when and if the time does make out for a biopic , it could very well be the Material Girl behind the tv camera .
