Britney Spears Biopic Heads to Universal With Jon M. Chu as Director

Britney Spears' life and story is getting the biopic treatment, with Universal Pictures landing the rights to the star's memoir The Woman in Me.

Britney Spears’ life and story is reportedly getting the biopic treatment, with Universal Pictures landing the rights to the pop princess’ best-selling memoir The Woman in Me, per Variety. The book chronicles Spears’ rise to fame, her relationship with fellow child star Justin Timberlake — which included her getting pregnant and having an abortion during their time together — as well as her life under a highly restrictive 13-year conservancy. Last month, it was revealed that Madonna’s biopic is back in the works when the singer took to Instagram to share a slideshow of photos in which she’s seen posing with a typewriter, writing a screenplay titled Who’s That Girl, in reference to her 1987 film and song of the same name.
