The film will be based on Spears' 2023 memoir
Director Jon M. Chu has revealed that Britney Spears will be "very involved" in his upcoming biopic about the pop icon. While it's still early days for the project, Chu has not yet decided on the actress to portray Spears on screen. He expressed interest in fan castings but emphasized the importance of aligning the movie's approach with the right actor. Chu aims to honor the human side of Spears as depicted in her 2023 memoir, "The Woman In Me," and hopes to convey both her humanity and iconic status in the film. Spears had teased a "secret project" with producer Marc Platt before the biopic was announced, and Chu expressed his excitement at the opportunity to direct a film about someone he has admired for years.
