Jon M. Chu to Direct Britney Spears Biopic

Jon M. Chu is set to direct a biopic based on Britney Spears' memoir, 'The Woman In Me', which he believes has 'huge potential' for storytelling. While the script has not yet been written and no writer has been hired, Chu emphasizes the importance of portraying Spears' experiences and the treatment of young stars, particularly women. He also addressed rumors about a possible collaboration with Spears on a film adaptation of 'Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat', suggesting that Spears enjoys teasing her audience. The biopic is expected to be filmed in Spears' childhood home in Kentwood, Louisiana, and could depict her rise to fame and the struggles she faced, including her conservatorship. Notably, Spears has mentioned that the film might be a 'fictional musical', a claim that remains unconfirmed. Chu has expressed excitement in bringing Spears' story to life, stating, 'there's a lot of things in there that I would love to explore.'
