Apples388 Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Hypothetical - If a biopic about Madonna was going to be made ASAP, who would you want to see playing the Queen of Life? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Winslet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apples388 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 Winslet would look sensational as Virgin, ROL and AL era Madonna; but I'm not sure she could pull off Blonde Ambition, Who's That Girl or Dita looks. Blanchett perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glindathegood Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 An unknown. Biographical movies of famous people seem to work together when you get an unknown to play them. Fans are more willing to see an unknown as their favorite artist. Choose famous actors or actresses for the supporting roles, but cast an unknown as Madonna.

loomer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Blanchett would be brilliant, although the nose is a little big Then again, they can do anything with make-up these days and a close lookalike is not necessary.

Guest Not4Pussies Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 they should do something like they did for Bob Dylan in I'm Not There and different actresses can play Madonna from different eras julianne moore, michelle pfeiffer, cate blanchett, kate winslet, drew barrymore, virginia madsen...

GimmeSomeMo Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 What about the unthinkable? Why? For all the people on Earth why would they choose her? She looks nothing like Madonna and has none of the magic that makes Madonna so special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GimmeSomeMo Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Well given the GIGANTIC FLOP her 'movie' no doubt will be now that the world rightfully has stopped GIVING A SHIT I think her days as an 'actress' are numbered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ai Papi Si. Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 Before she passed away, I always said Brittany Murphy would've been a good Madonna But I like the idea of a bunch of different women portraying Madonna in all the eras of her life. It'd have to really be done right though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Not4Pussies Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 yeah but there isnt one actress that could play madonna in all of her life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 No, but I think two actresses could play her. Most biopics have the young/childhood version, then the adult one does the main bit and all the rest Scorsese is apparently going down the I'm Not There route for his Sinatra biopic with several actors playing different stages of his life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loomer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 The problem with a Madonna biopic is that there are too many different looks and eras, it would look a bit ridiculous and be very choppy. They'd have to leave loads of stuff out or focus in on certain years. An I'm Not There-style movie might work best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skin Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I dont know, but this would have to be one of the longest biopics ever made. Just about every year in her career has been noteworthy. So much would need to be covered. Wasnt her Behind the Music one of the only ones that was an hour and a half instead of the normal hour? Even they knew there was just too damn much to cover. And that was 10 years ago! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples388 Posted July 18, 2010 Author Share Posted July 18, 2010 If they do go ahead with it some time I would love it if the script and story is so thick on plot and heavy with personal stuff that the finished product would serve to illustrate how the different looks were just subsidiary in the big picture (as they are really); rather than play up to the mainstream media idea of Madonna changing her looks just on a superficial level (which there is some truth to as well). Yes I want my Madonna overintellectualised please. For example a scene where she's fixing her disco roll obsessively in the aftermath of the horse fall and then breaking down and crying in the mirror as she realises that her marriage is falling apart because Guy is cheating on her, only to emerge onstage at the G-A-Y gig the consummate professional with the world and her fans enjoying the disco queen but oblivious to the TURMOIL WITHIN THE LEGEND... Or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I wonder what TERUMI MATTHEWS is up to these days I like the scene in that where she sings in a Parisian nightclub (did that really happen?)

GimmeSomeMo Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 I like the scene in that where she sings in a Parisian nightclub (did that really happen?)

Narendra Sen Posted July 18, 2010 Share Posted July 18, 2010 ^ there was a time when SJP bore a striking resemblance to the ROL-era Madonna. I think she would do too (to a certain extent).
