A biopic on the life story of Britney Spears has been given the green light. Universal Pictures has purchased the rights to Spears‘ bestselling memoir, The Woman in Me, with Wicked director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt already signed on to develop the picture. Spears shared the exciting news on Thursday (August 1) with a post on X, writing: “Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned 
.”
Universal acquired the rights to Spears’ memoir in a highly competitive bidding war. The book features the Grammy-winner detailing her personal journey to pop stardom and the downfalls of fame that she experienced along the way. The Woman In Me has sold over 2.5 million copies in the United States following its release in October, and the audiobook – read by Academy Award-nominated actor Michelle Williams – became the fastest-selling audiobook in Simon & Schuster’s history.
