He’s seriously in more projects than Elliott Gould circa 1970-71
I'm rather embarrased - I have no idea who he is!

Ooh, can we get Paul Mescal in it too? I don't think I've seen enough of these guys in sensitive gay-themed dramas.

Sounds like Madonna’s movie about herself isn’t happening. Making a movie about one’s own life, down to not changing names or dates, has always felt like one of those unspoken things you just don’t do.

Universal should’ve taken a quick look at the features she already made and realized that Madonna shouldn’t be helming another film.

I think this project basically went through pre-production twice, it was cast, had core crew locked, and went through many script drafts.
