It’s been almost two years since it was reported that Britney Spears was working on a biopic based on her memoir The Woman in Me with director Jon M. Chu and producer Marc Platt. Over those years, despite lots of chatter about who could play Spears, there really hasn’t been much movement, though. However, now, after rumors about the film being delayed went around, it took a big and exciting step forward as a great writer was hired to work on an early draft.
Liz Meriwether has been tapped to write an early draft of this Britney Spears biopic, according ot Page Six. She will join the team alongside Chu and Platt, and she will finish the draft the director and producer reportedly started. Again, it will be a book-to-screen adaptation of The Woman in Me, Spears' wildly successful and popular memoir.
