This Is a Movie About a Girl Named Britney

As a film critic who has spent countless hours immersed in the world of pop culture and its enigmatic figures, I find myself intrigued by Jon M. Chu’s latest venture into the lives of these fascinating women. The director’s decision to adapt Britney Spears’ memoir, “The Woman in Me,” is a bold move that promises to delve deep into the complexities of stardom and personal struggles.


Director Jon M. Chu has developed a fascination for women who are often misjudged, as evidenced by his latest projects. He is now set to direct an adaptation of Britney Spears’ memoir, “The Woman in Me,” following reports by The Ankler. This book delves into various aspects of the singer’s life, including her journey through her conservatorship, dealing with the glare of the spotlight, and a humorous account of Justin Timberlake reportedly greeting Ginuwine with an exaggerated black accent. Chu has made this deal in collaboration with “Wicked” producer Marc Platt for Universal, triumphing over competing bids from Sony, Warner Bros., Fox, Disney, and Netflix. Spears herself hinted at this project on her radio station, X. Although Michelle Williams voiced the audiobook version of the memoir, it seems unlikely she will reprise her role in the film adaptation.
