Madonna, 62, will direct her own biopic from Universal Pictures, and will co-write the motion picture

Madonna will direct her own biopic from Universal Pictures, and will co-write the motion picture with Academy Award winner Diablo Cody.

The movie, which has not been titled yet, will take viewers on 'the incredible journey that life has taken me on as an artiste, a musician, a dancer - a human being, trying to make her way in this world,' the 62-year-old entertainment icon said in a statement on Tuesday.

The Grammy-winner said that 'the focus of this film will always be music,' which has 'kept [her] going and ... alive.

'There are so many untold and inspiring stories and who better to tell it than me. It’s essential to share the roller coaster ride of my life with my voice and vision.'

The Material Girl will collaborate with Amy Pascal on the project, as they past worked on the 1992 classic A League of Their Own.
