Who will be the main actress? Secret hearings, two actresses from «Euphoria» compete – Corriere.it

“I hope that I Madonna Sheryl Crow has sung for nearly thirty years, which is good advice the 2022 girls should have heeded but apparently didn’t. Why Madonna is making a movie about her life: She’ll be a director, screenwriter, producer, and anything but a lead actress because of age limits (Announces 63 yearsIt will be 64 on August 16th. And the problem here: There is only one Madonna, no doubt, and finding another credible two-hour on-screen is an intriguing problem.

the exams

The solution? A marathon of auditions is more like training for the Marines than training a talent show: the candidates – somewhat budding actresses – undergo an 11-hour dance session in the presence of Madonna’s trusted choreographer, then have to sing and sing in front of her. There are the protagonists of Sky Atlantic “Euphoria”: Sydney Sweeney, 24, and Barbie Ferreira, 25. There is Julia Garner from “Ozark” (on Netflix), 25 years old and perhaps the closest to the original. There is the English Florence Pugh of “Little Women”, (25). Then Alexa Demie (“Ray Donovan”), Odessa Young (“Mothering Sunday”), and Emma Laird (“Mayor of Kingstown”). All actresses, but singers like Bebe Rexha and Sky Ferreira are also contestants.

casting

It is interesting that there is not even a candidate for the role of the person who made the famous T-shirt with the phrase “Italians do it better” in the 80s (Madonna’s father, Mr. Ciccone, came from Pacentro, L’Aquila) – American, but now the cast of modern times skips this detail – In the biography of the film “Bohemian Rhapsody”, the role of Briton Freddie Mercury (born in Zanzibar, real name Farrokh Bulsara) ended with the excellent Rami Malek from California of Egyptian origin, who also won an Oscar.

Film biography

Is ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ credited – wrong? – From the wave of film biographies of major singers that have hit and will hit movie theaters (Elton John’s life became “Rocket Man”, Bob Marley’s life in the making). Since experts’ opinion (which is often appropriate to be wary of) was that Freddie Mercury’s biography was aimed at a very young audience, The Voice of Queen died in 1991 when millennials were young and Generation Z was not yet born.

The audience

The global deaf audience spent on expert opinion, at the box office of Bohemian Rhapsody $911 million, the academy sent home Malik with Oscar As best lead actor. The Hollywood Reporter insider wrote that Madonna’s movie will be titled “live to tell” It will focus on the legendary “Blond Ambition Tour” around the world in 100 days and 57 concerts from Chiba (Japan) to Nice (France) in April-August 1990, the height of Madonna’s world fame in which she mixed with the usual in a wonderful way, like a pop artist The real, the aesthetics of Metropolis, Art Deco and the paintings of Tamara de Lempica.

a tour

A tour that caused a scandal (something very in the 20th century): There was a video “Like a Prayer” with the Ku Klux Klan, burning crosses, stigmata, church. He was condemned by the Vatican (again) and caused Pepsi to withdraw its sponsorship of the tour, adding to its media influence. But why an illustrated biography and why now? “Because a lot of people have tried to write movies about me, but they’re still men,” Madonna said a few months ago on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon. It is better to do everything on your own (apart from the main role: but for this it is enough to organize the “Hunger Games” for young actresses).
