Few legends can boast a life and career as iconic as Cher‘s. So, it’s only fitting that the diva’s story is heading to the big screen.
Full story below…
Universal Pictures is at the helm of the movie and the studio has tapped Eric Roth as its screenwriter.
The Oscar winner penned ‘A Star Is Born,’ which of course went on to dominate the box office.
As yet untitled, the feature film will be produced by Judy Craymer and Gary Goetzman – who served in the same role for ‘Mamma Mia!’ and its sequel, which Cher starred in.
A multi-talented trailer, Cher’s illustrious career spans almost six decades and encompasses seismic success in music, TV, film, and more.
Speaking on the news, the ‘Believe’ singer – who turns 75 today – said:
Ok Universal is Doing Biopic With My Friends JUDY CRAYMER,GARY GOETZMAN PRODUCING.

Cher’s narrative could make for many movies, so we’re already all sorts of buzzed for this.

I just want to see the behind the scenes whatever when she was doing the show w her late husband. It was wayyy before my time but I dig her fashion when she did that show. Form what I seen she dressed on EVERY scene..and I want to see when her husband dies..that’s all I would be interested in though 🤷
Wow! Cher is still alive? I’m shocked! 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿
Thus ENTIRE film success depending on the fashion! The story needs to be great too, but we definitely need the fashion to be the focal point for an icon such as Cher!
Dionne Warwick could never chile
She’s 75! wow! amazing!
That’s a quite a pedigree of talent. Five-time Oscar nominated writer, winning for Forrest Gump. He also wrote A Star is Born. Emmy noms for House of Cards. Producers of Mamma Mia (including one who won 5 Emmys for Best Film for TV).
Cher has five #1 Billboard Hot 100 hits (and dozens of top 10s) stretching from 1965 (I Got You Babe) to 1998 (Believe). Longest stretch ever between #1 hits. Cut out the Sonny & Cher song, she still has the longest stretch with 1971’s Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves to Believe. She won an Oscar. Fashion icon. Sonny’s death. Famous boyfriends. Trans child. Lots to cover.
It absolutely disgusts me that she is getting this treatment and Whitney Houston got a Lifetime biopic.
Whitney Houston had tremendous impact.
How is that Cher’s fault?
I love Whitney, but she didn’t protect her legacy. She did a trashy reality show with Bobby. She did lots of crack & cocaine. Cleaned up only to perform terribly on her last tour, disappointing her fans. Whitney’s eventual big screen movie will be sad and depressing. Cher’s will be upbeat. That’s what most people want.
Yepper💅🏿💅🏿 Cher is just keep it classy like celine Dion. I know that right. White divas don’t do drugs
Sorry but Cher was doing her Queen thang when Crackney houston was still in her diaper and haven’t started smoking crack yet 💅🏿💅🏿💅🏿 Nice try hater🤳🏿🤳🏿
💗❤️♥️💗❤️♥️
Don’t care!
