Even an authorised film of the singer’s life is bound to eclipse the rest of the crop of musical biopics
Cher is the latest music star to get the biopic treatment. “Ok Universal is Doing Biopic” she tweeted, in her inimitable style, adding that the producers of both Mamma Mia!s are involved (and I hope that whoever plays Cher gets to re-enact that helicopter arrival).
It will be written by her friend Eric Roth, of Forrest Gump and A Star Is Born fame. Naturally, she included her favourite emoji, the ghost, in this announcement. A fan told her that she had been waiting for this for 50 years. “I Had More Life to Live,” Cher replied, which sounds like a potential title to me.
