Britney Spears is going to be “very involved” in the upcoming biopic based on the former pop star’s bestselling memoir The Woman in Me.
During a red carpet appearance at the Golden Globe Awards ceremony on January 5, director Jon M. Chu said Spears would have a hand in the Universal Pictures production.
“She’s going to be very involved,” Chu told celebrity news outlet Entertainment Tonight. “I haven’t really started anything fully yet, but she will be very involved in this. I have ideas and things, an approach, but it’s very early.”
Although Spears has become more of an attention-grabbing social media staple than a recording artist in recent years, the 43-year-old scored a major hit when her hotly anticipated 2023 tome sold 1.1 million copies in its first week.
“I poured my heart and soul into my memoir, and I am grateful to my fans and readers around the world for their unwavering support,” the Grammy Award winner said in a statement about the book’s sales.
