A Britney Spears movie is within touching distance.
We can reveal the megastar has entered advanced talks to transform her best-selling memoir into a blockbuster, with a female-only writing team being brought in to tackle the script. Sony Pictures currently leads the negotiations, while Britneyâs major songwriters have been given a heads-up that their music could be used for the adaptation of The Woman in Me.
Our source tells us: âBritneyâs book was a groundbreaking best-seller and raised the publicâs consciousness with regards to how the entertainment industry and conservatorships work. Sheâs in advanced talks to turn it into a cinematic release and her songwriters have been informed that some of her songs will be used once it is greenlit. If necessary, the project could become a mini-series in the style of Genius: Aretha.
"Female writers are being approached to turn the book into a script because only a woman can understand the nuances that made Britneyâs role in her family, and position in pop culture, so complicated.â
