Overview
- Madonna and Julia Garner shared a gondola video from Venice on Monday, lip-syncing “Like a Virgin” in a clear nod to the 1984 clip.
- Both are in Italy to film season two of Apple TV’s The Studio, an Emmy-winning Hollywood satire co-created by Seth Rogen.
- Madonna captioned the post “Like a Virgin……. again and again” with an Italian flag emoji, using a visual echo of the original Mary Lambert video shot in Venice.
- Coverage differs on the long-gestating Madonna biopic, with outlets describing it as on hold, previously shelved, or reworked, while reporting continues to link Garner to the lead role.
- The new clip also drew social-media attention to their look-alike styling, even as the larger takeaway is Madonna’s on-camera return and renewed public interest in the biopic first announced in 2020.
