What readers are saying

Sandra
The mention of Madonna wanting a massive budget because she has had a huge life is classic producer talk for a project that likely lacked a clear narrative focus. If she is still refusing to use the script unless she buys it back from Universal at an extortionist price, the Netflix series idea is probably just as stalled as the film.

While the focus is on the budget falling out, Universal likely held onto the script rights as a standard intellectual property protection after two years of development costs. It is common for studios to set high buy-back prices to recoup their initial investment in the screenwriting and pre-production phases.
