As a film enthusiast with over three decades of immersion in pop culture, I find myself intrigued by the suggestions for Britney Spears‘ biopic. Being a child of the ’90s and early 2000s, I have fond memories of both Britney and Justin Timberlake’s rise to fame. Their stories are deeply intertwined, as are their music and acting careers, making this casting choice particularly interesting.
Discussion over who would be suitable for portraying Britney Spears in her biopic has ignited, with numerous well-known figures mentioned by fans on social media. However, an individual who once belonged to Spears’ close circle has expressed their own views not only on the ideal actress for the “Toxic” singer, but also on who should play Justin Timberlake and herself in the film.
According to TMZ, Felicia Culotta, Britney Spears’ former personal assistant, is considering several actors for roles in an upcoming biopic based on Spears’ best-selling memoir, “The Woman in Me.” Culotta thinks Emma Roberts, known for her work on American Horror Story, would be ideal to portray Spears on the big screen. Roberts has a rich acting background and shares some similarities with Spears; she started her career as a child actor, like Spears, and even starred in Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous,” which had a musical component, while Spears was part of the cast of “The New Mickey Mouse Club” before making waves in pop music.
Felicia Culotta Thinks Timothée Chalamet Should Play Justin Timberlake
As a film enthusiast, I’m not just throwing out names to fill Britney Spears’ iconic shoes. Spears’ memoir delves deeply into her past relationship with Justin Timberlake, the former pop royalty who shared the stage with her in *NSYNC. Her former assistant thinks Timothée Chalamet would be spot-on for Timberlake, given his upcoming role as Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown’ on Christmas Day, following his last musical outing, ‘Wonka’. As for who could embody Spears, Culotta suggests Drew Barrymore might capture her essence best.
Many fans have suggested potential actors for the role of Spears, including Sydney Sweeney, Millie Bobby Brown, and Sabrina Carpenter. On the opposite side, others argue that a famous actor could be too much of a distraction, suggesting an unknown actor for the part instead. However, it’s worth noting that Britney Spears has some influence over the script and casting, as she is working closely with Universal Pictures, director Jon M. Chu, and producer Marc Platt. In the end, the final choice might be a collective decision, but Britney Spears will likely have the final say in who ultimately plays her.
Universal Pictures secured the rights to Britney Spears’ memoir, reportedly in the hundreds of millions, which also granted them access to her music catalog. The studio reportedly outbid Disney and Netflix, both eager to acquire the book rights as well. It’s been some time since Spears released new original music (with the exception of a duet with Elton John in 2021), but her music remains popular on platforms like Spotify. To date, her memoir has sold over 2.5 million copies across all formats. If executed effectively, Universal Pictures stands to have a significant box office success and potentially an award contender if they decide to adapt it for film.
