\"Cher<\/p>\n

Following the success of recent music biopics such as Rocketman<\/em> about Elton John and Bohemian Rhapsody<\/em> about Freddie Mercury and Queen, and the upcoming movies<\/a> about Elvis Presley and Whitney Houston, Universal is working on another showbiz story focused on the multi-hyphenate diva Cher<\/strong>. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Hollywood Reporter<\/a> has news<\/a> on the Cher biopic in the works at Universal. The project will reteam Cher with Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again<\/em> producers Judy Craymer<\/strong> and Gary Goetzman<\/strong>. As for script<\/a>ing duties, those will fall on Forrest Gump<\/em> and A Star Is Born<\/em> screenwriter Eric Roth<\/strong>, who seems well-equipped to tell the story of the singer and actress whose career has spanned over half a century. A director has not yet been hired for the project.<\/p>\n

Cher rose to fame in the 1960s, first starting as a back-up singer on tunes like \u201cBe My Baby\u201d by The Ronettes and \u201cYou\u2019ve Lost That Lovin\u2019 Feelin\u201d by The Righteous Brothers. She attempted a solo career under the name Bonnie Jo Mason with a song called \u201cRingo, I Love You,\u201d but radio stations rejected it because Cher\u2019s uniquely deep voice made them believe it was secretly a gay man singing a song dedicated to Ringo Starr of The Beatles, which was seen as a problem back in those days.
\nBut Cher eventually found fame alongside Sonny Bono<\/strong>. They struggled at first, but the release of \u201cI Got You Babe\u201d in 1965 reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, and that was the beginning of what would become one of biggest musical acts of the 1960s.<\/p>\n

Sonny & Cher not only became famous as a musical duo, but also as a couple. They eventually expanded their reach as TV personalities with The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour<\/strong>,<\/i> which even earned Cher a Golden Globe. But their marriage didn\u2019t last, and Cher ventured out on her own with a solo career again after her marriage to record producer David Geffen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Though Cher had ups and downs in popularity, she was always willing to adapt with the times and figure out new ways to appeal to audiences. She\u2019s had an incredible stream of hit songs across many decades, and she capped it off with Hollywood stardom by appearing in movies like Silkwood<\/em><\/strong>, Mask<\/em><\/strong>, The Witches of Eastwic<\/em><\/strong>k, and Moonstruck<\/em><\/strong> in the 1980s and 1990s. Silkwood<\/em> earned her an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress and Moonstruck<\/em> landed her an Oscar win as Best Actress. Since then, she\u2019s also appeared in Mermaids<\/em><\/strong>, Stuck on You<\/em><\/strong>, Burlesque<\/em><\/strong>, and of course, Mamma Mia!: Here We Go Again<\/em><\/strong>, all while continuing to create new music.<\/p>\n

Cher\u2019s story should make for a fascinating biopic, and it will likely allow for a variety of actors and actresses to appear as other famous faces from music, TV and film. But we\u2019re also hoping that it doesn\u2019t fall into the same tropes that have come to define modern music biopics. That will likely depend on Eric Roth\u2019s script and whoever ends up directing, so we\u2019ll keep our fingers crossed.<\/p>\n
