These 3 young stars are vying for Britney Spears biopic – But one doesn't have the pop star's approval
Hindustan TimesThe highly anticipated biopic about Britney Spears is finally moving forward, with Universal Pictures securing the rights to her bestselling memoir ‘The Woman in Me’. “Britney is someone that a lot of Gen Z girls look up to, they’ve been hearing her music all their lives, to them she really is an icon,” a source told Life & Style. “Plus, with John M. Chu writing and directing and all the heat already on the project, it’s being seen as a career making movie, there’s a lot of discussion about who will get it and a definite competitive vibe.” Amid the excitement over who will portray the pop icon, Life & Style reports that three young stars are currently vying for the role. Ariana Grande Ariana Grande is reportedly being considered for the biopic, particularly since her recent collaboration with director Jon M. Chu on ‘Wicked.’ “Ariana is a huge fan of Britney and she’s obviously got a huge in with John since she’s just done Wicked with him and proved how hard she will work for a part,” an insider told Life & Style. "Millie Bobby Brown has been openly campaigning for it, a lot of people think that’s the motivation for her to go bleach blonde, she wants people to see her in this role,” an insider told Life & Style.
