Screenwriter Diablo Cody, renowned for her work on “Jennifer’s Body,” recently shared her admiration for Madonna in an interview with People. Although initially attached to a Madonna biopic project announced in 2022, the endeavor has been put on indefinite hold. Despite this setback, Cody remains effusive about her experience working with the pop icon.
Gushing over Madonna, Cody declared, “I’m obsessed with Madonna. I remain Madonna’s No. 1 fan, and I still can’t believe I got to spend a summer hanging out with Madonna.” The screenwriter, who describes herself as an ’80s baby, expressed sheer disbelief and joy at the unique opportunity to collaborate with the music legend.
In her interview, Cody praised Madonna as a superstar like no other. She emphasized Madonna’s uniqueness, stating, “Unlike a lot of celebrities where you see behind the mask and you’re like, ‘Oh, okay. They’re just whatever.’ Madonna is Madonna. She’s a superstar. You want to talk about superhumans? That’s one.”
While Cody’s admiration for Madonna remains unwavering, the status of the biopic project has become uncertain. Cody addressed the inquiries about the project’s release, saying, “I don’t. And I feel bad because people keep asking me. They’re like, ‘Is it going to come out?’ And I’m like, ‘I don’t know, but I want it to.'” Despite the postponement, Cody’s enthusiasm for the collaboration and her hope for the project’s eventual realization are palpable.
Diablo Cody’s experience working with Madonna stands as a dream fulfilled, with the screenwriter expressing boundless admiration for the iconic pop star. As fans eagerly await updates on the postponed biopic project, Cody’s continued enthusiasm signals a hopeful anticipation for the eventual unveiling of the highly anticipated Madonna biopic.
