Internet hype was building around the possibility that actress Emma Roberts would portray Britney Spears in the biopic adaptation of the singer’s best-selling memoir, The Woman In Me. But on Friday (August 30), the pop star shared a message on Instagram that disclosed that she is apparently involved in an upcoming film project, but it is not her biopic. “The project I might be doing isn’t a biopic story … it’s a fictional musical where I play an extremely intelligent character 😉 !!!,” Spears wrote in the contradictory post. “It’s flattering to be in such good company like Jon Chu !!!”

Universal Pictures reportedly won a bidding war to adapt Spears’ memoir into a film, with Wicked director Jon M. Chu and Marc Platt apparently leading the development of the film. Last month, Spears revealed on X that she’s been working on a “secret project” with Platt, writing, “Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned 🌹🎥” No official casting or development timeline has been announced for the biopic or Spears’ “fictional musical” at this time. (Billboard)
