Jon M. Chu Gives Update on Britney Spears Biopic
Sharing she is “very involved” in the upcoming film.
Jon M. Chu has seen great success with the recent release of Wicked. With the second part in production, Chu is also busy working on a Britney Spears biopic.
During the red carpet at the Golden Globes, the director spoke to Billboard about waht fans can expect from the Britney biopic, based on the pop princess’ best-selling memoir, The Woman in Me. Chu said, “I really can’t talk about that yet. I’m a big fan of Britney. I’ve been a fan since I was young and she was young and she was one of 12 acts at the Shrine Auditorium.” He added, “So I want to do her justice and tell her story right. But we’ll see. We’re developing it now and it’s a long road ahead.” In a separate interview with Entertainment Weekly, Chu said,
“She’s going to be very involved. 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.”
The Woman In Me audiobook, which is read by Michelle Williams and features an introduction by Spears, is the fastest-selling in Simon & Schuster’s history and the No. 1 most listened-to audiobook on Spotify in 2023. Stay tuned for more information.
