Now, <a href=\"https:\/\/cinemadailyus.com\/?s=Emma+Roberts\">Emma Roberts<\/a> has stated that playing Britney Spears in the recently announced biopic movie would be her dream.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">The movie will be directed by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/name\/nm0160840\/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0_tt_0_nm_8_in_0_q_jon%2520m\">Jon M.

No casting announcements have been made yet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Shortly after the movie was announced, Felicia Culotta, Spears&#8217; former longtime assistant, informed TMZ that Roberts would be a suitable choice for the role of the iconic singer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Speaking with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cosmopolitan.com\/entertainment\/celebs\/a61937773\/emma-roberts-books-interview-august-2024\/\"><span class=\"s2\">Cosmopolitan<\/span><\/a>, Roberts was asked what she thought about the idea of playing Spears.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u201cI was like,\u00a0I love her assistant.\u00a0I mean, it\u2019s my true dream to play Britney Spears,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s a rumor, but I hope maybe it\u2019ll come true. I mean, I remember I locked myself in my room and listened to\u00a0In the Zone\u00a0and said, \u2018I cannot leave this room until I memorize every word.\u2019\u201d She added, \u201cI mean, I sing Britney to my son in the bath all the time.

After Spears&#8217; memoir debuted last year at the top of the New York Times&#8217; bestseller list, a studio bidding war ensued. The project was recently acquired by Universal. The book traces Spears&#8217; upbringing in Mississippi and Louisiana to her rise to fame with her 1999 debut album.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Roberts is known for starring in <strong>American Horror Story<\/strong> and for playing Chanel Oberlin in <strong>Scream Queens<\/strong>. Her filmography includes 2006\u2019s <strong>Aquamarine<\/strong>, 2007\u2019s <strong>Nancy Drew<\/strong>, 2010\u2019s <strong>Valentine\u2019s Day<\/strong>, 2011\u2019s <strong>Scream 4<\/strong>, 2013\u2019s <strong>We\u2019re the Millers<\/strong>, 2015\u2019s <strong>The Blackcoat\u2019s Daughter<\/strong>, 2016\u2019s <strong>Nerve<\/strong>, 2020\u2019s <strong>The Hunt<\/strong>, and 2024\u2019s <strong>Madame Web<\/strong>, among other titles.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">A release date for the Britney Spears movie has not been announced at this time.
