Universal Pictures has won the rights to the pop superstar’s bestselling memoir, The Woman in Me<\/em>. Wicked<\/em> filmmaker Jon M. Chu<\/strong> is attached to direct the film, with producer Marc Platt<\/strong> developing.<\/p>\n

Britney first shared news of a project in the works on her social media on Thursday.<\/p>\n

“Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He\u2019s always made my favorite movies \u2026 stay tuned,” Britney wrote on the social platform X<\/a>.<\/p>\n

According to The Ankler<\/em><\/a>, Universal Pictures landed the rights to The Woman in Me<\/em> after a fierce bidding war. There was also interest from Shonda Rhimes<\/strong>, Brad Pitt<\/strong>‘s Plan B, Margot Robbie<\/strong>, Sony, Warner Brothers, Fox, Disney and Netflix. A source said the rights deal was eight figures and includes the rights to Britney’s musical catalog.<\/p>\n
