- Director Jon M. Chu is focused on perfecting the script.
Actress Mikey Madison recently commented on speculation linking her to the role of Britney Spears in an upcoming biopic.

She noted her own limitations in musical talent, despite being a fan of Spears.
Director Jon M. Chu has maintained a tight-lipped approach regarding the Universal Pictures film, which is based on Britney Spears' 2023 memoir, "The Woman in Me." Chu confirmed that his current focus is on developing the narrative, stating, "We're just trying to get the story right." Liz Meriwether is penning the script, with Marc Platt producing.
Chu has acknowledged receiving numerous unsolicited casting suggestions for the titular role. He expressed high praise for Meriwether's script, describing it as "incredible, profound, beautiful," and admitted he may have already shared too much about its progress. Casting decisions remain unaddressed as the story development continues.
