Shania Twain Biopic In Development At Sony With Singer Producing

Sony Pictures is developing a biopic about Shania Twain. The 60-year-old singer will serve as producer for the movie, simply titled Shania. Director Leah McKendrick’s background as a former pop singer-songwriter helped secure her the directing role. The 39-year-old filmmaker previously helmed Scrambled in 2023 and has Netflix’s Voicemails For Isabelle releasing June 19th. McKendrick expressed her excitement on Instagram, stating: “Long before I was making movies, I was shooting Shania music videos in my bedroom. This wild-hearted force of a woman means so much to me – and the world.” While specific plot details remain undisclosed, Twain’s rise from Windsor, Ontario to 1990s country stardom provides rich material. Her hits include “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” “That Don’t Impress Me Much,” and “You’re Still the One.” Twain releases her seventh album Little Miss Twain July 24th.
