Julia Garner, Florence Pugh and Odessa Young were put through the musical equivalent of the first half hour of Full Metal Jacket for a now cancelled auto-biopic of the singer
Madonna performing at the Grammy awards in 2015.Last modified on Wed 25 Jan 2023 18.22 GMT. For years, Garner has been slowly carving out a niche for herself as one of Hollywood’s most promising leading actors. She was the best thing about Ozark, the best thing about The Assistant, the best thing about Dirty John, and she was also in Inventing Anna. And this unstoppable rise was meant to be capped with a showy turn as one of the biggest icons the world has ever seen: Madonna.
The Madonna film had one of the most berserk audition processes in motion picture history. Once Madonna had drawn up a shortlist of all the actors who could feasibly play her – as well as Garner, they reportedly included Florence Pugh, Odessa Young and– she put them through the musical performance equivalent of the first half an hour of Full Metal Jacket.
Either way, it doesn’t matter any more. The whole Madonna Bootcamp process was for nothing. Julia Garner might have won, but she still only came out of the experience with the same status as Pugh and Young. Despite everything, they are all at best just theoretical Madonnas.
