While Jon M. Chu has been pretty busy directing both parts of Wicked, he’s also thinking about one of his next projects: a biopic of Britney Spears, based on her memoir, The Woman In Me.
Speaking to Entertainment Tonight at the Golden Globes, Chu says Britney is “going to be very involved” in the film. He added, “I haven’t really started anything fully yet. But she will be very involved in this. I have ideas and things of an approach, but it’s very, very early.”
Chu added that he’s “seen all the fan casting … and I always take those into consideration because maybe there’s a good idea out there. But we’ll have to see. We’ll have to see what the approach for the movie is before we know who’s right for it. But I’m open for anything, really.”
Separately, Chu told Billboard of the project, “I really can’t talk about that yet. I’m a big fan of Britney. I’ve been a fan since I was young and she was young … so I want to do her justice and tell her story right. But we’ll see. We’re developing it now and it’s a long road ahead.”
