Even although she will not be enjoying Madonna now, Garner’s purple sizzling profession is displaying no indicators of slowing down. Next up, she’s set to star in “The Royal Hotel,” a social thriller from “The Assistant” director Kitty Green, per Deadline.
As for the now-scrapped biopic, Variety’s preliminary report revealed that Madonna mentioned she hoped to “convey the unbelievable journey that life has taken me on as an artist, a musician, a dancer — a human being, attempting to make her means on this world.” She added: “The focus of this movie will all the time be music.
