deadline.comMadonna Feature Doc Set At Sky Madonna is the latest pop icon to be spotlighted for a documentary. Sky has greenlit a feature on the American singer from At Home with the Furys producer Optomen, which will “chart Madonna’s rise to become the biggest female pop icon in history,” it said.
With rare footage, unseen photos and intimate interviews with family, friends and collaborators – some of whom have never spoken in a documentary before – Becoming Madonna will show a new side to the singer, starting with her as a professional dancer in the late 70s and ending in 1992 as she transformed through the decades.
Hayley Reynolds, Sky’s Acting Director of Documentaries and Factual, said: “Since her debut in the 80s, Madonna has been a powerhouse in pop music and carved the way for many of today’s most popular artists.
This film brings a fresh perspective on an enduring icon and we’re thrilled to be working alongside Optomen to bring her story to Sky audiences.” A wealth of other singers and bands have been charted by premium doc crews of late including Robbie Williams, Take That and Boyzone.
