RatPac- Dune was founded by Brett Ratner, Packer and James Mnuchin and is to bring Madonna’s story to life after it threw its support and resources behind the likes of ‘Magic Mike‘, ‘Barbershop: The Next Cut’, ‘Wonder Woman’ and Michael B. Jordan‘s ‘Creed.’

Madonna’s involvement with it? That remains to be seen.
What fans do know is that her release stands as one of many biopics built to explore the lives of some of Pop culture’s brightest stars.
Home to many of these is ‘Lifetime’ which housed projects dedicated to Britney Spears, Michel’le, Aaliyah, Whitney Houston and if an unconfirmed report published by Dish Nation is anything to go by…Beyonce.
Keep it locked on TGJ for more on this developing story.
SHADE!!!
Good for Madonna. What was the true intent of this post? Over the years Mariah + Madonna have settled their differences + usually have positive things to say about each other. You guys truly love negativity. It’s sick!
Petty!!!!! Let’s see if a young Mariah will make an appearance. #Tommy
Yawn. Madonna slept her talentless and jealous way to the top and was visibly shaken by the successes of female music artists who slated after 1987: Whitney, Mariah, Janet, Toni, Jennifer, Shania, Cher, Britney, Beyoncé and Gaga. The end.
Mariah… and now madonna ???
Guuuurl .. r u gay ? Or just billianare fan ?
At the end of the day there will only ever be ONE Madonna, she is the true definition of legendary! The gap in her tooth is more iconic than your faves whole careers! She truly is the number ONE female star of all time, 34 years and STILL relevant on sell out tours! Makes me laugh how people call her a flop yet their faves wouldn’t even be here without her breaking boundaries and kicking the doors down! I’m SO excited too watch this! A true music icon! Madonna will live forever!! PS. her 1990 Immaculate collection is the greatest album
Of all time!!
Petty AF, and I’m not referring to Packer. Why post that Mariah video shading Madonna without the context. Madonna said terrible things about a then-young Mariah Carey which led to Mariah’s response.
I’ve always wondered why Madonna hasn’t written a book yet. Shes lived one hell of a life.
Nice
