I truly and honestly think she's pissed that some large studio wants to do her "biopic". Without her permission. And while she hasn't written her official memoirs, she's mad. Really mad. I think she ultimately had plans for something like this down the road. Just not this soon...

[Madame Madonna 4,108]

This is ridiculous.. I mean who does not know that Her band name was The Emmys?

 

True: Madonna was in a band called The Emmys!!!

 

roll my eyes.. OMG what a breaking news!!

what a amazing fact checking!!! seriously.

 

 

This is why I really angry about these bull shit.

 

For example Think about this If someone make about michael jackson biopic movie.

 

And If that movies Story line is MJ made a Neverland BECAUSE HE HAD PLAN to invite children and rape children at there.

And BBC fact-checked about that script

 

True : Yes MJ had Ranch and And he called it Neverland. It's TRUE!!

 

Partially True (or Mostly) : Yes!!!! MJ enjoyed inviting children at NEVERLAND!!!! OMG It's TRUE!! And some children accusing him about sexual assult!!! so it's partially(or Mostly) true!!!!!!

 

You know what I'm trying to talking about here?

This is really dirty and disgusting dangerous game.

 

Some tiny little true and mixing with a lot of disgusting made up untrue story.

And then said "well some parts are true...So..you never know what really happened~~ wink wink"

 

That is disgusting.

And Most disgusting thing is Madonna is still very alive. And they trying to throwing this bullshit to her face.

[Madame Madonna 4,108]

beside these bullshit, most unfortunate thing this project is script itself is pure garbage. seriously.

lol

@@brazilfan you're right, that article is downplaying all the problematic stuff in the script and instead talking about unimportant details as being true.

There Was Already A Gloriously Trashy TV Movie About Madonna’s Early Days

So What Are We Doing With Blond Ambition From Universal?

GENNA RIVIECCIO APRIL 25, 2017 FILM

 

http://www.culledculture.com/there-was-already-a-gloriously-trashy-tv-movie-about-madonnas-early-days-so-what-are-we-doing-with-blond-ambition-from-universal/

 

Though it may have been low-budget and low-caliber acting, much of the frequently forgotten about 1994 TV movie, Madonna: Innocence Lost (which aired on Fox, mind you, not Lifetime), proves to be highly detailed in its recounting of how Madonna got to the top, as well as her many daddy issues that spurred her desire to rebel from an early age.

 

And yet, because Hollywood tends to have Alzheimer’s when it comes to remembering that none of its ideas are original, a project that was at the top of 2016’s Black List (I don’t need to explain that term to you if you want to be in film like everyone else), Blond Ambition, about, once again Madonna’s early days, has been acquired by Universal–the production company now best known for bringing Fifty Shades of Grey to the silver screen.

 

What’s more, another far more well-researched, close-to-the-people-she-actually-knew-back-then film called Emmy and the Breakfast Club will feature Madonna “re-enactments†by Jamie Auld, who looks pretty similar based on the stills that have been released. And yet, the script, penned by Elyse Hollander (who has thus far only released three shorts, which you know Madonna isn’t thrilled about–but at least she’s a woman), is going forward with the aid of producers Michael De Luca and Brett Ratner (which seems a particular blow to M considering his friendship and music video history with known shade thrower Mariah Carey).

 

Whether fans will be interested or not could depend on Madonna’s own take on the project, a to the point assertion with a Polaroid from said early days attached: “Nobody knows what I know and what I have seen. Only I can tell my story. Anyone else who tries is a charlatan and a fool. Looking for instant gratification without doing the work. This is a disease in our society.â€

 

But at least the film’s creators spelled Blond Ambition correctly, in the way it was for the seminal 1990 tour of the same name that Madonna endured many a lashing for. And even if this movie does turn out to have some merit, there’s no denying what fans really want to see: the biopic about her marriages to Sean and Guy. Or maybe Ryan Murphy can just make Feud seasons for those as well.

I can't read the rest of "the facts" now because I don't know, I want to do something else right now...but LOL at "Who knows tacky better than Cher?" I don't remember that. I can see her saying that in a cool voice. Lol

 

Don't get me wrong, I love Cher. I'm laughing more at Madonna saying that.

 

That first bit about the songs and The Emmys...that's enough to boycott the film right there for me.

 

Oh and the name...at least get it right. Blond Ambition. It's more creative.

[LikeAMelody 728]

Maybe Universal is tryng to get back at her for bad mouthing Fifty Shades of Grey?

 

Was it the book or the film she said "wasn't very sexy?"

In wake of a new biopic, we remember what was really happening before Madonna became Madonna.

 

A Tribute to Madonna's Early 80s Post Punk Past

https://noisey.vice.com/en_ca/article/a-tribute-to-madonnas-early-80s-post-punk-past

 

... But perhaps the biggest tragedy of all this, besides a bunch of opportunists laying claim to the origin story of a living legend, is that neither project bears the Madge seal of approval—meaning we may never know the whole truth surrounding key moments in Madonna's early career. And believe me, this is a tragedy because in her pre-fame New York period alone, which lasted from 1978-1983, Madonna lived more life than most octogenarian carnies, performing in two post punk bands rife with their own kitschy brand of new wave, touring Europe with a disco one-hit-wonder, starring in an 8mm student film that boasts an orgy scene with a transwoman, and bedding art world prodigy, Basquiat. She accomplished all this before she became household-name famous.

 

So before either of these films have a chance to sully Madonna's rise-to-fame narrative, here's a look at milestones in the Queen of Pop's early career, many of which may surprise even some of her most true-blue fans.

 

1978

•Drops out of the University of Michigan and relocates to New York City

•Secures a job at Dunkin' Donuts in Time Square and is allegedly fired for squirting jelly on a customer during an altercation

•Poses completely nude for photographer Bill Stone in a spread that would make its way into a 1985 issue of Penthouse magazine

 

1979

•Chosen as a backup dancer for disco one-hit-wonder Patrick Hernandez's European tour

•Becomes romantically involved with Dan Gilroy and moves into a synagogue in Corona, Queens with him

•Joins Gilroy's band Breakfast Club as a drummer and vocalist

•Stars in A Certain Sacrifice, an 8mm student film, playing a dominatrix who, along with her sex slaves, performs a satanic ritual on her rapist (-_-)

 

You can watch the entirety of A Certain Sacrifice here but I'd recommend going straight to the orgy scene which starts at 8:48, which is the least offensive part of the film.

 

Madonna's first foray into music was firmly rooted in a post punk sound as evidenced on Breakfast Club tracks "Little Boy" and "Shine a Light." On "Safe Neighborhood" she segues into ska territory.

 

1980

•Ends her romantic involvement with Gilroy and subsequently leaves Breakfast Club to form a new band called Emmy and the Emmy's with fellow Michigander Stephen Bray

•Releases 15 songs as Emmy with the help of Gotham Management manager Camille Barboni who tries to mold and market Madonna as a Pat Benatar-esque artist

•Starts performing at venues like Max's Kansas City and the Roxy to hone her performing skills

 

Madonna's sound moves in a more new wave direction on Emmy and The Emmy's tracks like "Hot House Flowers," "Love for Tender," and an early rendition of "Burning Up."

 

1981

•Continues to release Emmy and the Emmys tracks under a Gotham Management contract

•Hones her live performance skills playing at any gig that will take her

•Starts looking for other management behind her current managers back in order to take herself to the next level

 

1982

•Leaves Emmy and the Emmy's to embark on a solo career

•Records solo demo tracks and starts her quest for a record deal

•Allegedly begins a coat check job at New York club Danceteria and eventually lands a performance at the club's weekly cabaret night called "No Entiendes," hosted by Howie Montaug and DJ Anita Sarko, her first solo performance

•Begins a torrid love affair with art world superstar Jean-Michel Basquiat

•Signs a singles deal with Sire Records and releases her first single "Everybody" through the label in October of 1982

 

In 1982, Madonna and Basquiat began seeing each other, however, the details surrounding how they met are hazy. The relationship was an important one for Madonna, as Basquiat was a serious and established artist at the time with important, monied connections and she was still, as yet, just an aspiring entertainer.

 

By the time she snagged her first solo gig at Danceteria in 1982, Madonna was already a seasoned performer incorporating choreography from New York's underground club scene into her act without skipping a beat.

 

1983

•The first two singles Madonna releases on Sire Records "Everybody" and "Burning Up" become club hits in the United States

•Bolstered by the success of the singles, she releases her eponymous debut album "Madonna" on July 27, 1983 with the help of Warner Bros. producer Reggie Lucas and John "Jellybean" Benitez

•Meets stylist Maripol who begins to craft Madonna's signature look of black rubber bracelets, excess jewelry, bleach-blond hair, and crucifixes

•Tours to promote the album, performing on television in the United States and Europe throughout 1983

 

By the time Madonna made it to American Bandstand on January 14, 1984 she was greeted by a litany of enthusiastic hoots and hollers from a New York audience excited to see her perform. Her performance was captivating but it was her answer to host Dick Clark's question about her long-term goals that made her one to watch. She casually, without so much as batting an eyelash, retorted "to rule the world." Later that year she would cement her identity as the world's reigning pop icon with her writhing performance of "Like a Virgin" at the first ever MTV Video Music Awards. And the rest, shall we say, is history.

Great article you brought us @@groovyguy!

 

By the way, has someone heard of some news that links Paris Jackson (yes, her) to cast the M's role on that bizarre involuntary tragicomedy? Universal Studios think (that's exactly what you're gonna read in sequence) that casting Jacko's daughter (whom Madonna seems to love and appreciate) will gain Madonna's affection for the movie project as a whole (maybe enough to say yes to an inclusion of Lucky Star, Everybody etc. on it) and probably finally the movie will get the green light to, ahn, promote an Interscope's artist in a way the own UMG's label couldn't think about doing?

The thing is becoming worst and worst each day. I hope this time this screenplay is severely reworked (and they hinder Alexander for good) to at least give a better vision of who Madonna was to become who she is: the ultimate Queen of Pop.

See you!

P.S.: Glad to see Warner Inc.. was oddly smart enough to not even look at that thing, let alone have interest in investing on it. If is not only a sign they really don't care about her anymore, at least they have respected her image and desire. Good job Warner! Lol
