Madonna Movie Auditions Are Reportedly Grueling 11-Hour Boot Camps
The casting process for the upcoming Madonna biopic reportedly involves "grueling" 11-hour auditions that include intense choreography sessions with the star herself. Madonna's biopic has so far had a rocky road to get to its current pre-production stage.

More recently, Alexa Demie (Euphoria), Julia Garner (Inventing Anna) and singer Bebe Rehxa have all been linked to the project and now, new details have emerged about the biopic's somewhat intense audition process.
