It’s only been a week since famed pop singer Britney Spears released her tell-all memoir, but some studios are now looking to take the book to the big screen.
Titled The Woman In Me, Britney’s memoir has been all most people can talk about online, with clips of the audiobook, read by Academy Award nominee Michelle Williams, going viral.
The book is officially listed as “a brave and astonishingly moving story about freedom, fame, motherhood, survival, faith, and hope.”
For some, Britney’s own words don’t seem to be enough on their own, with Hollywood studios already starting the bidding process for a potential adaptation.

Deadline have revealed that bids are already coming in for the project, with the CAA not yet determining what the project might look like or possible restrictions. With so much to play for, Britney’s memoir could end up becoming a feature film, TV series, or documentary.
The original book documents plenty of key moments from Britney’s life and career, including her hardships in 2007, her relationship with Justin Timberlake, and her experiences with the Free Britney movement following her conservatorship.
