Madonna has revealed why she’ll be the one to direct a movie about her life. News of the biopic has swirled for a while now. Julia Garner got offered the lead role in the project. Now, Madonna tells Variety that it’s up to her to tell her own story. In her own words, she called it a “preemptive strike.” Just this week, movie fans saw the release of another Blonde trailer starring Ana de Armas. Famous women get biopics and a lot of the time they become male-focused projects. However, Madonna was determined not to let that happen to her story. She wanted the focus squarely on her life from her point of view. Also writing the movie is Diablo Cody (of Juno fame) and the duo has been working hard to get the script just write. One might only need to look over at Pam and Tommy for a way in which these stories can lose sight of their protagonists. The Grammy legend isn’t going to let that happen this time around. Check out what she had to say down below.
