Emmy and the Breakfast Club

Throughout my life, I’ve been a fan of Madonna. There have been moments where I was a big fan and moments where my admiration dropped a little, but Madonna has always remained such a source of inspiration for me, musically.

In my early days as a Madonna fan, I was not allowed to buy many magazine, so every once in a while I scour the Internet looking for pictures of her infamous 80s period: My favorite Madonna era.

Recently, I had one of those moments and ran a search on Instagram, and ran into a big surprise. It was the best Madonna look-a-like ever! Jamie Auld went from helping out with casting talent to becoming a casted talent herself. She plays the role of Madonna in the upcoming independent film “Emmy and The Breakfast Club”. She’s such a spitting image of the star, you really have to look twice to see the slight differences.

The film takes a look at the very early years of Madonna’s switch in focus from dance to music leading up to her being a drummer for The Breakfast Club and singing in her own band, The Emmy’s. It’s based on personal tapes between Madonna and her boyfriend Dan Gilroy. The gaps are filled by personal accounts of some her band mates and friends from her very early New York era.

From the moment the film was announced, it has been causing a stir among fans due to the striking resemblance of Jamie to Madonna. It is eerie, but it gives you a little more faith that this movie might actually be something interesting compared to a previous movie made about Madonna called “Innocent Lost”, years ago. That one was just bad and mostly, as a Madonna fan, I don’t even want to talk about it.

Guy Guido, the director of “Emmy and the Breakfast Club” has a long time fascination with Madonna too. His first film was “Physical Attraction”, a film based around a teenager’s encounter with Madonna. Whilst that was a fantasy, the new film is based on Madonna’s real life. The film has already been shot and is currently in post-production. It is not clear when it will be released.

Madonna has not responded to this upcoming movie, but being the hot topic that she is, it’s not the only biopic to be released about her. Universal is also working on a film called “Blond Ambition” and Madonna does not approve of this at all.
