Britney Spears is one of the most iconic pop artists of all time, and it’s not just for her jaw-dropping music. Besides her unparalleled vocals that have earned her the nickname of being the ‘Princess of Pop’ and her impressive record of having sold 150 million records worldwide, which has made her one of the world’s best-selling music artists, she is also rather famous for her life itself.
That said, a biopic on the fan-favorite singer was only inevitable, and the same is reportedly currently in the works. But while many might expect this project to face the same fate as many other unfortunate ones that came before it—like the depressing fate Madonna’s biopic received—chances of this one getting greenlit and making its way to the screens are higher, as insiders claim.
Britney Spears’ biopic is more likely to be made as compared to Madonna’s
The roller-coaster ride that has been Britney Spears‘ life and journey in the entertainment industry so far is reportedly getting the biopic treatment, and amidst the buzz surrounding it all, insiders are claiming it’s in line to be made sooner rather than later. One of the reasons behind this one having higher chances of making its way to the screens is the immense success of recently released music-driven projects like A Complete Unknown.
But it’s not the only reason why the said biopic might as well be expected to actually make its way to the screens instead of facing the same treatment that Madonna‘s biopic-in-the-works did. For those unversed, the said project on the 66-year-old singer-songwriter cum producer was announced years ago and reportedly starred Julia Garner in it before getting scrapped, only to be picked up again only for no major update to come up as of yet.
Spears’ biopic, however, seems to have a brighter future ahead. As an insider recently claimed to Life & Style magazine, “The real story here is that, unlike the botched Madonna biopic that Universal wasted two years of work on, Britney’s movie has strong source material in the form of Britney’s 2023 book The Woman in Me.” Additionally, even director Jon M. Chu appears to have an open attitude toward giving the fans what they want to see.
Britney is doing everything right that Madonna did wrong with her movie and there’s a giant payday at the end of all of this, because a successful music biopic sends your music streaming numbers into the stratosphere. It happened with Queen six years ago and it’s happening with Bob Dylan right now… Britney understands how high the financial stakes are here, not just for the studio but for her personally, and that’s where she differs from Madonna,” the source claimed.
According to this very insider source, “Failure is not an option” for the Oops!… I Did It Again singer, considering how she’s reportedly willing to take the risk irrespective of the high stakes involved in the making of this project. And since the person behind the project—or, to be more precise, the one on whom it will all be based—is so keen on bringing this respective piece to life, who could possibly hinder her from the path to success?
Another major reason why Britney Spears’ biopic seems to have a brighter future ahead
On the one hand, there’s the fact that Britney Spears’ tremendous involvement in her biopic and her memoir The Woman in Me in itself is more than enough for fans to expect a sunnier future for the said project as compared to Madonna’s. On the other hand, another major reason behind the same is that her interesting personal journey has had fans connected with her since the beginning, supporting her through everything she has had to go through.
“Britney’s personal journey has a clear-cut arc and a pretty compelling ending, where her fans and the media championed the #FreeBritney movement and cheered the end of her conservatorship,” the source explained.
“It’s a story Britney’s millions of followers can get behind because they were a huge part of it… You also have a whole host of interesting supporting characters, from Britney’s family to her exes Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline—people who have been in the public eye just as long as Britney herself,” the insider continued.
All of this being said, it’s unarguable that, this time around, Spears won’t hesitate to push forward her biopic piece until it finally makes its way to the screens, irrespective of how high the stakes may be for her. And, after all, it’s Britney Spears we’re talking about, the author behind the bombshell explosive memoir The Woman in Me, so what less could be expected?
