Madonna: "Should I make the story of my life into a series or a feature film?"

[commander]

I would prefer a full feature film with a serious tone. I think series work best for sensationalized stories like serial murder cases, stalkers or royal families affairs. Unless that's what she wants.

[Cesar]

a limited series would be cute tbh

[NoAngelus]

Just pick the damn story to tell in 2 hours and release the damn movie like everybody else.

 

no one needs full story in one movie.

The GP watches TV shows that aren't from huge IPs all the time if they are good. Same can't be said about movies currently. (and this wouldn't be cheap) Selling a movie on Madonna's life is tough because, where do you even start?

 

A TV show could last like 4 seasons and if it's good, it could be a great idea for her. 

No one even streams her music yet you think someone will stream her show so much that it's gonna run for 4 season. 

 

Movie could be a hit or miss, if it hits it could be great and have ever lasting impact on her legacy if it misses it's forgotten the next day. Show won't do anything.

Since her stubborn ass will probably want to direct it or so, just write a book and call it a day.

[Triton]

Probably a series, it's a bigger project but she can put more in there. Plus people can be more invested and streaming is everywhere. Sell it for a good price, she has the star power to negotiate well. 
 

Biographical films are usually a flop unless it's a past dead artist. Last big one maybe Bohemian Rhapsody or Rocketman but for every one of those there's is a I Wanna Dance With Somebody. It's a bigger risk and the story has to be short and concise. Might as well tell her story how she wants to present it and not worry about the money. She doesn't need it. 

[TipToe]

First of all we need to remove her from any position on the biopic makings, she needs to be a script supervisor at most. Then we can talk. 

[Shimenawa]

Why not both... but she should release new music too. What happened to these Max Martin songs? I'm affraid the music will suffer again because her attention will be on that biopic.

A series would be amazing.

[MadOnHer]

As a fan I would definitely prefer a series. For the GP a film has a better chance of making an impact.

[MESSIAH13]

A series, since a movie would not do justice to her life/career story.

[HardBambi]

Do something else, do your eyebrows 

(who does their own life story?)

Why not both?

[spiritboy]

Whatever she decides to do, she should stay away from directing it. She should be heavily involved though and let professionals do their jobs.

[SaintWest]

As much as I *hate* him, Madonna should be on a call ASAP with Ryan Murphy. He would have a better eye for casting it then most would, would let her be involved, and it would be an easy sell to a streaming service considering they love handing him boatloads of cash for his projects right now. Even better for Murphy, he could make it a part of a new anthology about famous musicians.
