One of the most highly anticipated biopics is officially in the works. Universal Pictures has acquired the rights to Britney Spears' bestselling memoir 'The Woman in Me,' following a "highly competitive auction," according to the latest press release.
Fans are already sharing their excitement after it was revealed that the film will be directed by none other than 'Wicked' director Jon M. Chu and produced by Marc Platt. However, the project is still in pre-production, and no stars are attached to the film so far.
Britney also shared her approval, revealing that she is thrilled to be working the Platt. "Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with Marc Platt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned," she wrote on Twitter/X.
