Madonna is unsure of the direction of her upcoming biopic after admitting the process has been a struggle.

The Queen of Pop has been working on the project for several years and took time out to embark on her ‘Celebration World Tour‘ across the UK, Europe and North America.

“After struggling for days in LA, listening to producers and agents tell me why I couldn’t make my film (been working on it for 4 years!!!) downsize . . . think smaller they say,” she penned. ”l realised that everything in my life is going to be challenged.

“No easy rides for me.”

Reaffirming that she won’t give up on the venture, she added: “If you want something badly enough in life, the whole universe will conspire to help you get it.

“Should I make the story of my life into a series or a feature film?”

It’s not only the biopic Madonna’s working on; she recently returned to the recording studio with producer Stuart Price as the pair collaborate on new material.

After the Hung Up singer to Instagram to share snaps of the pair in the studio, sources told The Sun’s Bizarre column the superstar is “ready to put down some new tunes”.

“Stuart was credited with helping Madonna return to form with their ‘Confessions’ album, so for her to start working again with him is hugely exciting,” they shared. “That record was incredible and Madonna is excited about what they can come up with.

“It has been five years since she released ‘Madame X’, which was a concept album and Madonna is ready to put down some new tunes.

“Working with Stu on her tour reignited the spark. She has fire in her belly and cannot wait to get started.”

Last year, Price revealed how he came to work with the Express Yourself hitmaker once again on her 40th anniversary shows following a phone call with the pop legend.

“When she announced the greatest hits tour I called her just to say, ‘Congratulations, I think this is a great idea’,” he said. “And she said, ‘I was just thinking about you, and I thought you’d be the perfect person to work with on this.’

“So two weeks later, I went to New York.”
