great incredible it's what we all wanted and she was really invested in the production of it on like a really surface level which is interesting because sometimes I don't love when the person themselves makes their own kind of biopic because it's it's very much can sometimes leave the juicy stuff out and they just present themselves in this very like perfect way but I never thought Madonna would do that because she's all about showing like the grittiness and the hard work plus it's

It was also, you're going to see it through her eyes, what she wanted us to see.

So, but she was very, very- Involved.

Involved.

And also very kind of like invested in finding the right actress to play her.

Which of course, like that was going to be make or break for the movie.

So apparently, like it's true that this happened, but we don't know all the names involved.

Apparently they got down to a short list of like actresses in Hollywood and then they had to go through a Madonna bootcamp.

Oh.

Oh, wow.

So they had to sort of get together.

Where is the reality show about the Madonna boot camp?

Where is that?

They must.

I'm sure they were filming that so they could see how it looked on screen.

So it was like a bunch of like well-known actresses, like apparently like Amanda Seyfried and all these people were in there.

Not the full list wasn't released of like who was in the final running, but apparently they were like going through dances and singing and like reading pages from like the script and all that sort of stuff.

And it was like an intensive to see who could physically be Madonna in front of Madonna.

And then Julia Garner was cast.

Right.
