Madonna to direct own biopic on ‘roller coaster’ life

NEW YORK: Madonna has revealed that her next project will be the movie of her life — and the final product should meet with her approval as she is bringing it to the screen herself.

The 62-year-old “Material Girl,” with a four-decade career as a singer, actress and cultural touchstone, will direct the biopic, according to a statement from movie studio Universal.

Madonna will also co-write, with Diablo Cody who won an Oscar for the screenplay of coming-of-age dramedy “Juno.”
