Britney Spears’ blockbuster memoir is heading to the big screen, Variety reports.

Universal Pictures is developing a film adaptation of Spears’ The Woman in Me. The memoir, published last year by Gallery, tells the story of the singer’s often troubled life and career. A critic for Kirkus wrote of the book, “Spears’ vulnerability shines through as she describes her painful journey from vulnerable girl to empowered woman.”

The film will be directed by Jon M. Chu, known for movies including Crazy Rich Asians and In the Heights. The first part of Chu’s two-film adaptation of the musical Wicked is scheduled to premiere in November; he is also working on a movie adaptation of Dr. Seuss’ Oh, The Places You’ll Go!

Spears’ memoir, which sold more than 2 million copies in its first three months on sale, came two years after the singer, known for hit singles including “...Baby One More Time” and “Oops!…I Did It Again,” was released from the conservatorship she had been under for more than 13 years. The book quickly became a New York Times bestseller, and it had a viral moment when a clip from the audio version—narrated by Michelle Williams and recounting Justin Timberlake’s fawning praise for singer Ginuwine—made the social media rounds.

Spears made an oblique mention of the adaptation on the social media, nodding to Marc Platt (Legally Blonde, La La Land), who will produce the film. “Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt,” Spears wrote on the platform X. “He’s always made my favorite movies…stay tuned.”
