Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Productions, Brad Pitt’s Plan B Entertainment and Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine are all reportedly interested in the production rights, leading to a bidding war over which of these three companies well-known not only for the quality of their productions, but also for the interest they have in stories featuring women, would get their hands on the precious production rights.
There were rumors that Shondaland Productions, Shonda Rhimes’ company, was also interested in the project, since Rhimes wrote the screenplay for Crossroads, Spears’ previous film, in 2002, but a spokesperson would have provided details to this subject, to Page Six, affirming that Rhimes would ultimately not be part of this project.

Remember that Britney Spears’ very personal memoir, The Woman In Me, has become a bestseller since its release last month. Britney was reportedly upset by the reception to her book. Audiences and critics have praised her book, which details her rise to fame and personal struggles, as well as her controversial 13-year conservatorship, which ended in 2021.
Sales figures indicate that it will become one of the most popular celebrity memoirs of all time.
It’s not just the possible on-screen adaptations that are resonating in the industry. Since the book’s release, Spears has seen a noticeable increase in sales and streams. Data shows that his album’s sales and streams in the United States increased by 61% and 24% respectively. This testifies to the sustained fervor around the singer and her story.
