Madonna reveals release date for star-studded film

The film, directed by David Toro and Solomon Chase (Torso) and set to be released early on Tuesday Australian time, is a cinematic presentation "that gives physicality" to Madonna's new album due out on July 3.

The 67-year-old star shared a poster for the film featuring a dramatic image of her suspended from the ceiling and hanging upside down.

Actors Benedict Cumberbatch, Richard E Grant, Archie Madekwe, Julia Garner and Odessa A'zion and model Kate Moss are among the stars named on the poster, as well as Madonna's daughter Lourdes Leon.

Other celebrities listed include actors Gwendoline Christie and Debi Mazar, DJs Honey Dijon and Shygirl, and professional footballers Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro.

The chart-topper - known for hits including Like A Prayer and Vogue - told her 20.2 Instagram followers Confessions II The Film would be released on YouTube on Monday at 11am EST (3am Tuesday Sydney time).

The 10-minute film is built around the first six tracks of Madonna's upcoming album, according to the Tribeca Film Festival website, including her latest releases I Feel So Free and Bring Your Love, which features Sabrina Carpenter.

It is also described as unfolding the tracks "as a single, continuous piece, weaving together interconnected, music-driven sequences into an immersive cinematic experience".

The film comes ahead of the release of Madonna's 15th studio album, which is a sequel to her Grammy-winning 2005 record Confessions On A Dancefloor.

It marks her first studio album in almost seven years, since Madame X in 2019.

The original Confessions On A Dancefloor is known for its nightclub music and hits such as Sorry and Hung Up, and is considered one of her best albums, along with Like A Prayer and Ray Of Light.

The veteran pop star launched her career in the 1980s and has since achieved global success, with 13 UK number one singles and 12 number one albums.

Madonna has also won seven Grammys and two Brit Awards during her decades-long career.
