A Britney Spears biopic is incoming, and needless to say, what little is known so far has whipped fans into a frenzy. Jon M. Chu (Wicked, Crazy Rich Asians) is set to direct the film for Universal Pictures, which won the rights to Spears’s poignant 2023 memoir, The Woman in Me. The film will likely follow Spears’s rise to superstardom, as well as her battles with mental health issues and a 13-year court-ordered conservatorship, which ended in 2021.
Though no official release date has been set for the project, Chu has said that Spears will play a pivotal role in bringing its story to life. “She’s going to be very involved,” Chu has told Entertainment Tonight of the film, which is still in development.
Well, we are hyped—so hyped, in fact, that while we await casting news, Vogue has decided to dream-cast the biopic ourselves.

Okay, this is a tall order, we know. The Princess of Pop has made it quite clear that she’s done with the entertainment business, especially after being forced to perform for years under her conservatorship. But one can still dream that she would star in Chu’s film herself. After all, her inimitable stage presence is going to be hard (if not impossible) to replicate. Why not go directly to the source?
