tv show Madonna to produce biopic limited series for Netflix

[Heat Waves]

Elton's movie made no noise (good or bad). 

Whitney's flopped. 

Amy's was a critical and commercial BOMB. 

Robbie's...no comment. 

 

Queen's movie is the only one that made some noise and it was mostly the novelty of the fact this type of movie wasn't a thing. Celebrity life story movies were a fluke. 

 

MJ did find success with Broadway but also a fluke because Cher and Tina's shows were short lived. 

 

TV show is where it's at.

You're getting a cheap Netflix content with no prestige or redeeming quality. Lower your expectations because you're not getting deep dive into her life or discography.  

Not sure how you're able to confidently make these declarations based on the info we have. 1) Netflix is a distribution platform, not a production company. Madonna's limited series is being produced by 21 Laps which created Stranger Things, one of the most successful and most acclaimed series globally of the past decade. 2) Netflix gets more Golden Globe and Emmy nominations than any other network nearly every year. Some of the most acclaimed and "prestigious" series of the past decade have been distributed by Netflix. It has by far the biggest content library so naturally it has a ton of junk as well.

Tv shows are dead and have no lasting impact. They have no replay value. 

nothing really is since monoculture died thanks to streaming.

Movies build momentum with awards and festivals and if they don't they get dumped and forgotten on streaming.

lol this conversation is over if you think stranger things is acclaimed show

 

it's the most vanilla show made exactly for people to play it while doing something around the house. like any other netflix content. it's literally a known fact that scripts for netflix content is being written in a way where you actually have to look at tv to know what's going on.

I'm sorry, anyone that question the potencial of her life story being a good movie/series, doesn't know Madonna very well.  I'm not even a die hard fan of hers and I can see so much potencial, specially since they can amp it up the drama. It can really be what The Idol tried to.

 

If well done, it can make noise from a trailer alone. And it's not like the Emmys and GG doesn't exist, it can still be an acclaimed limited series.

This is so sad. A trainwreck. 

 

Every artist out there is capable of getting biopic to theaters and she can't.

 

They might as well turn it into a horror show because so far watching this biopic crash and burn has been literally a horror show.

it made $200M  what are you talking about

[John Slayne]

a movie would end up being some dull, watered-down hollywood story 

 

they can do so much more with a series

Based on your replies in this thread, you seem to be very emotional about this topic, so I'm happy to let you be right

I'm just telling you what was said about it, Madonna herself is still invested in it and they said it will be different from the biopic that there working on.

*creative arts nominations

 

netflix content even has oscar nominations because they run campaigns. at the end of the day you will NEVER see that sh!tshow on best of lists.

[spiritboy]

I can see this being universally panned by critics and haters 

 

At least people with give it a curiosity stream and if they like it, M will have some kind of popularity resurgence. It should be called Candy Shop tho.

We want the alboom first mama! And a tour. But the biopic is overdue too 

I can't wait to see it and enjoy it, after reading this thread I know exactly who WON'T

Don't really get this because Rocketman was a hit that made 193M on a 40M budget, Taron was in contention for an Oscar nomination and won the Globe, and Elton won an Oscar. 

 

Otherwise I agree. Bohemian Rhapsody is increasingly a major outlier that captured lighting in a bottle. Even the biopics that do well (Elvis, Rocketman, A Complete Unkown) don't smash in the way people seem to think they do. Outside of a theoretical Oscar campaign for whoever plays Madonna, a miniseries makes more sense in like every way.

A series is better but why the hell did she go with the shitty comedy director
