Britney announces new biopic with Oscar-winning producer Marc Platt

[Style.]

Universal Pictures has landed the rights to Britney’s massive bestselling memoir, The Woman in Me. Jon M. Chu, whose Wicked is about to be released through the studio, is attached to develop to direct. Oscar-winning producer Marc Platt, his collaborator on Wicked and the producer of La La Land is also attached. A source puts the rights deal in the eight figures, with rights to Britney's vast music catalog as part of the arrangement.

Britney shared news of the “secret project” with fans on social media, writing that Platt has “always made my favorite movies.”

The Woman In Me has sold over 2.5 million copies in the United States alone, was critically acclaimed, and became the fastest selling in Simon & Schuster's history, and hit #1 on the New York Times’ bestseller lists in all formats: audio, hardcover and ebook.

I’m excited. I hope it doesn’t have anything to do with Once Upon a One More Time. Platt wanted Britney to play Elle Woods in Legally Blonde

‘The Woman In Me’ documentary is coming and we are so ready for it!

If it is a documentary I wonder if Paul will be making a cameo or special appearance?

No one wants this, we wants stuff from Britney herself. 
 

who wants this 

who does not, 

show of votes please

So much for being “retired”, huh? 

Britney likes to keep us guessing, for sure. And while she may not be respected by many of you here, she’s certainly still respected by the industry.

Excited for this. Just hope it’s not another case of “fake news”.
