Paws up, Little Monsters! American network, Lifetime are reportedly developing a television movie based on the life of Lady Gaga, titled Fame Monster: The Lady Gaga Story.
The story will cover the "Bad Romance" artist from 16 to 22 years old and is set to be filmed in Toronto. Screenwriter, Norman Snider ("Casino Jack") has already written the script for the film based on Maureen Callahan's 2010 book, Poker Face: The Rise and Rise of Lady Gaga, with Ilene Kahn Power producing.
A casting call has already been sent out for an actress to play Stefani Germanotta (Gaga), with the following description:
"[STEFANI GERMANOTTA (LADY GAGA)] is a bright rebellious Catholic school girl who dreams of fame. The story covers her from age 16 to 22. When we first meet her she is a dark haired, offbeat, very talented and intensely ambitious teen. She comes from a Italian/American well off, close knit, Upper West Side NYC family. She never felt she ‘fit in’ with her fellow students in high school and was disappointed when her college experience at NYU didn’t meet her expectations. So, with her parent’s reluctant permission at 19, she drops out and moves downtown to the Lower East Side where the artists are. Independent and strong willed, Stefani learns she must be something more than a talented young girl and to really stand out, she must change. The story covers the ups and downs of her amazing rise and eventually to her transformation to Lady Gaga. We are seeking an actress who can physically resemble Lady Gaga and who can believably span ages 16 to 22. Singing is preferred but not required."
