In terms of reviving Madonna music among younger generation, Netflix is actually a better choice than a feature movie. Like, you watch a Netflix series you like the song, then you stream the song on other platforms. Hopefully people keep coming back to this television series again and again, and play the songs again and again. The Netflix series could have a huge effect on Madonna's music catalog, I can't wait for people to discover "Candy Shop" and "Human Nature" !!!! 5 2
anastaciabby Posted Monday at 06:23 PM Posted Monday at 06:23 PM Shawn Levy better not bring his tired "goofy action" shtick to this. I know Madonnas fans don't like when she's too involved but I think she should have more creative control as a whole than him, id love to hear her story in her own words Going for a limited series is smart, it lets them explore her life and career in a more meaningful way (which is way better than a 2hr movie) but his ass better get the pacing right 1
TaylorNation Posted Monday at 06:23 PM Posted Monday at 06:23 PM I'm sorry but the involvement of Shawn ******* Levy cheapens it + kills my excitement so much I get that their collaboration for Deadpool must have gone well but this is a mess, going from a Universal movie to a Netflix series is awful like, Robbie Williams got a ******* monkey CGI biopic and you're telling me THEE Madonna can't find a producing partner to bring her movie to life? sorry for ranting but I hate this 1 2

Lower your expectations because you're not getting deep dive into her life or discography. Shawn Levy is behind Stranger Things which actually helped Kate Bush's Running Up The Hill go viral. Plus he had Like a Prayer in Deadpool. Like I get that Netflix is not Oscar ... But in terms of reviving Madonna catalog and introducing her music to a younger audience, Netflix will do the job better than a theatrical movie 5
LittleStarmen Posted Monday at 06:29 PM Posted Monday at 06:29 PM 22 minutes ago, NoAngelus said: Have you ever seen a biopic? It's not about whole life, it's about telling a story. Madonna's story could've been her making it and ending with her arriving on stage at VMAs, because the rest is history. I swear some fans cant tell a difference between a biopic and MTV:behind the music. Ughh in Madonnas Case. So much more relevant stuff came after she was famous... aids era, blond ambition, erotica etc... The new york struggling artist way would be too cliche 2 1

reymiu Posted Monday at 06:34 PM Posted Monday at 06:34 PM Now when the series drops on Netflix which M song will go viral like Kate Bush's Running Up The Hill I actually think multiple M songs can go viral if the Netflix ends up being a hit. La Isla Bonita for Latin/ Europe crowd, or Music, or 4 Minutes, or Like a Virgin (the 2 iconic VMA performances) 3
Lament Posted Monday at 06:36 PM Posted Monday at 06:36 PM I'm really satisfied with this. I'm glad it will be a limited series. A movie would have been way too short. That guy is a choice though… but knowing her she'll try to make it artsy and it will probably balance it out, I hope. Netflix is a huge surprise tbh, that's big! 3 1
BlahBlahBlah Posted Monday at 06:37 PM Posted Monday at 06:37 PM The Idol Part 2 ok I see the vision 3
KaledKalil Posted Monday at 06:43 PM Posted Monday at 06:43 PM I don't expect this series to be about her whole career, to be honest. If it's a 6 to 8 episodes series, I can see it ending around the time of Ray of Light or even less than that. Album cycles can be very repetitive, for the general public, even tho lots of stuff were happening back stage and I would maybe consider ROL as her first full on reinvention (bedtime stories too, tbh). 1
PopKills Posted Monday at 06:45 PM Posted Monday at 06:45 PM The best decision she could've made with this project tbh 1

Well then if ppl refuse to stream her music on Spotify, what makes you think they will go see the movie in a theater and pay 20 USD (movie ticket plus popcorn)? In that case a movie is even riskier business-wise, it can bomb financially. With Netflix being a streamer, it would not have a bomb tag the way a theatrical movie would have. So the Netflix series is less risky business-wise, and offers more opportunities for younger audience to discover Madonna catalogue. That sounds like a much better business decision to me And like I said, Shawn Levy is a big name in Netflix (Stranger Things, his Ryan Reynolds movie) Netflix will give Shawn Levy productions big budget and big promotions Another thing, if Julia Garner plays Madonna in Netflix series that would be great too. Netflix audience are already familiar with Julia thanks to Ozark and Inventing Anna (acclaimed, buzzy works). So the Netflix show could hit the sweet spot between buzzy (Madonna life) and familiar enough (Julia Garner) and that would be easier for Netflix audience to try out the Madonna series 5
The7thStranger Posted Monday at 06:45 PM Posted Monday at 06:45 PM Thank God. You can't tell her life's story in movie format. Let's hope they don't give her the Selena treatment, but there are part of that that are unforgivable.
UnusualBoy Posted Monday at 06:47 PM Posted Monday at 06:47 PM She has enough material to make it a series so this is good. Let's just hope they get the right people to make it happen.

Flop acclaimed movie wouldn't have affected her legacy. Her legacy being downgraded to netflix is embarrassing. 8
PoisonPill Posted Monday at 06:51 PM Posted Monday at 06:51 PM 1 hour ago, YourFavoriteWeapon said: This going from a movie to a show Way better tbh. Movies are pretty dead right now and its really hard for any project to stir up hype unless its a big action franchise. We're in a new golden age for television, limited series are seem as premium quality and are more likely to get award buzz. And of course, trying to cram Madonna's life into a 90-120 minute movie would've likely turned out unsatisfying.

Actually, I wish Britney would have went with a series too. A movie gives you more momentum and impact on the GP thanks to the awards season but a series can handle a bigger story. 2

Yea cause Whitney, Amy Winehouse etc got so much prestigious movies. this idea that a tv show can't be prestigious and a movie automatically is makes no sense. This is the same guy that did Stranger Things on Netflix as well. Doesn't get much better than that. Edited Monday at 06:58 PM by tiagol88 4

They have no replay value.
