According to recent reports, Universal Pictures has gained rights to Spears’ memoir, The Woman in Me, which sold more than 2.5 million copies in less than a year, and is in talks of creating a biopic based off its contents. The projected directors are Jon M. Chu (Crazy Rich Asians, In the Heights) and Marc Platt, (Wicked and La La Land).

Spears took to X to share her excitement around the project telling fans to “stay tuned,” for more info. “Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt,” she wrote. "He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned”

The news has fans buzzing — rightfully so — as Spears’ memoir has caused quite the stir since its release in October 2023. Full of her own, never-been-told truths surrounding her highly-public court ordered conservatorship back in 2021, upbringing, and past relationships, the book has captured the eyes of many worldwide.
