Madonna has apparently found a new writer to tell her tale.

Following conflicting reports regarding Diablo Cody‘s exit from the project while working on her upcoming biopic, the 62-year-old “Express Yourself” music icon posted a series of photos seemingly confirming she’s found someone else to take over the role.

“Sitting with my favorite bitch…………I mean writer ✍️Erin Wilson. Noththing Touches but our Souls. 💗 #traceyemin #screenplay,” she captioned a series of photos posing with the writer.

Erin Wilson also wrote 2002′s Secretary with Maggie Gyllenhaal, among her several credits.

A studio source claimed that reports about Diablo‘s exit from the project were exaggerated, and here’s the real reason she moved on.

There have been reports that several actresses are being considered for the role of the singer, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Blake Lively has an exciting, new movie in the works!

The 33-year-old actress will be starring in and producing the upcoming thriller Lady Killer heading to Netflix, Deadline reports.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody – who wrote Juno – will be adapting the screenplay based on the comic book series written by Joëlle Jones and Jamie S. Rich.

Blake will be playing the lead character, Josie Schuller. “By all appearances, she is the perfect 1950’s housewife. But when she’s not catering to the needs of her family, she leads a secret life as a highly-trained killer for hire. She really likes the second job, and her husband has no idea.”

If you missed it, Blake has another new movie in the works with this Tony, Grammy, and Emmy winner!

More details have been revealed about Oscar-winning screenwriter Diablo Cody‘s exit from the upcoming Madonna biopic.

A report surfaced on Friday (April 2) that Diablo decided to “quit” the project because Madonna was allegedly too difficult to work with. Now, a studio source says that the report is exaggerating the circumstances.

A source at Universal Pictures confirmed to Entertainment Weekly that Diablo “completed her work and moved on to her next project.”

The source explained that Diablo and Madonna “recently delivered a completed draft of the film to the studio, which is looking at developing the current version ahead of production.” Films often go through re-writes and it’s unclear what will happen with this project.

Madonna will be directing the movie and she previously said that the film will follow her “struggle as an artist trying to survive in a man’s world as a woman, and really just the journey.”

There have been reports that Florence Pugh and Julia Garner are being considered for the role of the singer, but nothing has been confirmed yet.

Diablo Cody has reportedly exited from Madonna‘s project.

The 42-year-old Juno screenwriter quit the upcoming biopic amid challenges working with the singer, The Sun reported Thursday (April 1).

The Madonna-directed movie, which is said to explore the beginning of Madonna‘s career,
was announced back in September of 2020.

According to the report, Diablo found Madonna “too difficult to work with,” as she is “very particular.”

“Madonna and Diablo spent weeks working on the screenplay and made good progress. But Madonna is understandably very particular about how she wants it to be. She’s a perfectionist and because it is about her life, she is being very careful about how things come across. Diablo needed more freedom to be able to make it work and ultimately decided she couldn’t contribute any more,” a source told the outlet.

Universal is now reportedly on the hunt for a new writer for the project.

“Madonna doesn’t need the money and isn’t going to let a movie get made which she doesn’t feel is authentic to her experiences,” the source added.
