Emmy and the Breakfast Club, written and directed by Guy Guido, is set in the late '70s and early '80s, when Madonna was dating Dan Gilroy, lead singer of The Breakfast Club. (The future pop icon also performed with the band on occasion).
Last summer, Gilroy turned over to Guido hours of "private tapes of 'bedroom talk,'" according to Page Six, as well as love letters that she wrote him.
"Through first hand accounts of some of her closest friends and bandmates at the time... this film explores the historical time in entertainment history where Madonna began her pursuit of a career in music," the description reads.
Emmy and the Breakfast Club will also include reenactments featuring Jamie Auld as a young Madonna.
The film is currently in production and, according to Boy Culture, recently shot scenes at Hamlet's Vintage in the West Village. Scroll through below for behind-the-scene images.
