Fans might have to wait a little longer to see if Julia Garner ends up playing Madonna in a biopic, but they don’t have to wait to see Garner and Madonna collaborate on film.
The Ozark and Americans alum has a quick cameo in a club scene in Madonna’s star-studded Confessions II visual album, which premiered Friday night to a theater full of screaming fans at the Tribeca Festival in New York.
The more-than-10-minute short film, which is set to the first six songs on Madonna’s upcoming Confessions II album sees the Queen of Pop being chased by a SWAT team of robot-like women carrying cameras as she moves from an apartment (hiding “in the shadows” as she sings on “I Feel So Free”) to a forest, where she dances with a number of scantily clad women and men with “lasers coming out of every orifice” (indeed, thin green lights shoot out from between their legs), to driving a car, to a nightclub to a very crowded bathroom, where Madonna and her celebrity friends (she teased that this scene features the most Easter egg-like cameos) have a dance party before she brings the celebration home.
Throughout the film, directed by David Toro and Solomon Chase (TORSO), which is set to premiere on YouTube on Monday, Madonna is joined by a number of famous faces including Benedict Cumberbatch, Kate Moss, Odessa A’zion, Debi Mazar, Gwendoline Christie, Richard E. Grant, Archie Madekwe and “Bring Your Love” duet partner Sabrina Carpenter. Daughter Lourdes Leon is the last celebrity cameo as she ends the film with, “Cut, bitch.” Madonna later revealed that Leon and she co-wrote a song on the new Confessions II album.
