Britney Spears will be honoured as a \u2018human icon\u2019 in her upcoming biopic<\/p>\n
The 43-year-old \u2018Toxic\u2019 singer\u2019s turbulent life will be told on screen by \u2018Wicked\u2019 director Jon M Chu, 45, and the filmmaker has now revealed his vision for his portrayal of the pop sensation.<\/p>\n
He told Bustle about getting a different idea about Britney after reading her 2023 memoir \u2018The Woman In Me\u2019: \u201cShe\u2019s always been this icon, but ultimately, especially more recently after reading her book, she\u2019d become human to me. <\/p>\n
\u201cI think that is so beautiful. I hope to convey that humanity and the spectacle of what she is in all her glory.<\/p>\n
\u201c(I want to explore) what we expect from people that we think are ours. \u201cThey\u2019re their own people, and we have to respect that.\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBritney teased in August she was working with producer Marc Platt on a \u201csecret project\u201d moments before the biopic was announced. <\/p>\n
\nUniversal won the film rights to her 2023 autobiography, and Jon added landing the job as director of the project was a thrill as he grew up a Britney fan.<\/p>\n
\nHe added: \u201cI watched Britney before she was a solo act, when she was one of 12 acts at some radio station thing at The Shrine Auditorium. <\/p>\n
\n\u201cI\u2019ve loved her for many years. I’ve seen over seven concerts, which probably isn\u2019t a lot compared to other people.\u201d <\/p>\n
\nBritney said on Instagram in August it was \u201cflattering to be in such good company with Jon M Chu\u201d while making a gag about the format of her biopic.<\/p>\n
\nShe added: \u201cThe project I might be doing isn\u2019t a biopic story… it\u2019s a fictional musical where I play an extremely intelligent character !!!\u201d<\/p>\n
\nBritney told fans on Christmas Day she had reunited with her sons Sean, 19, and 18-year-old Jayden \u2013 who she had with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 46 \u2013 for the first time in two years.<\/p>\n
\nShe posted a video of her kissing Jayden on the cheek on her account, while a source told DailyMail.com his older brother was also with them for the holiday.<\/p>\n
\nA source told the outlet: \u201cSean and Jayden surprised Britney on Christmas and she was absolutely blown away.<\/p>\n
\n\u201cNeedless to say, she was a sobbing happy mess and couldn\u2019t pull herself together because of how happy she was. It was so sweet.\u201d<\/p>\n
