Britney Spears Shuts Down Millie Bobby Brown’s Desperate Bid for Biopic Role!

BBG News

Millie Bobby Brown is deeply committed to portraying Britney Spears in an upcoming biography, going as far as transforming her appearance and seeking assistance from her well-known relative for the possibility of landing the role.

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but acknowledge the challenges that lie ahead for the Stranger Things star, as she steps into the shoes of the Princess of Pop. The biggest obstacle isn’t just the role itself, but the very person who holds the title – Britney Spears. After watching her audition tape, I must admit, I have my doubts about Millie’s readiness to deliver a convincing portrayal.

The actress, aged 21, has often expressed her desire to portray the singer of “Hit Me Baby… One More Time.” She even referred to this potential role as her ‘dream part,’ long before the biopic, titled “The Woman In Me,” based on Britney’s best-selling book, was officially announced.

According to a source, Millie Bobby Brown is deeply determined to portray Britney Spears, and those around her sense that this role has become her current life’s work. She feels that she was destined to play this part. (DailyMail.com)

‘The problem is, Britney isn’t on board. She doesn’t see the resemblance.’

An insider reported that Millie and Britney haven’t had a direct conversation, but noted that the project-involved artist has watched Millie’s audition video.

It was asserted that Millie, who appears quite determined, is making every effort to persuade the 43-year-old pop star, including giving herself a makeover to enhance her chances.

This month, Millie unveiled a striking new hairstyle reminiscent of Britney Spears, showcasing it extensively across various social media platforms.

‘Her new look is clearly an attempt to show she can embody Britney,’ the source said. 

According to a source, it’s been reported that the actress attempted to leverage her relationship with Jon Bon Jovi, her famous father-in-law, by appealing to his connections in an effort to secure the acting role.

They mentioned that she’s been making efforts to utilize her father-in-law’s influential network to secure the desired role, which she’s aspired for since before the biography film was even proposed.

However, the source mentioned that regardless of how earnestly Millie attempts to mimic or represent Britney, the singer remains unconvinced.

They mentioned that the auditioning or selecting process has taken several months, implying that if Millie was the ideal candidate, she would have already been chosen by this point.

Regardless of how they style her using prosthetics and makeup to resemble Britney Spears, it’s Britney herself who has the last say. At this moment, Britney isn’t fully convinced by Millie.

Criticism arose intensely online regarding Millie’s significantly changed appearance, with some individuals even confusing her for an older woman or perhaps a mother, upon seeing her alongside her younger sibling in photos.

The Enola Holmes alum spoke about her desire to play Britney with ET last week.

She expressed her joy by saying, ‘There’s nothing more delightful than portraying such a legendary, stunning character.’ However, she humbly admitted, ‘That’s something I’ll let fate decide.’

She had earlier expressed to Access Hollywood her desire to be involved in Britney’s narrative, stating, “I would absolutely adore being a part of her tale.

She noted, “I’d love for someone to vividly portray it in a stunning manner, and I’m always receptive to such opportunities.

In a 2022 interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, she expressed that portraying Britney would be her ideal role following her work on Stranger Things.

At the given point, the actress expressed her desire to play a genuine individual. Later on, it was disclosed that she intended to depict the renowned pop icon.

‘I think her story resonates with me,’ she continued.

She noted that they, herself and Britney, had a common background of ‘experiencing growing up under public scrutiny.’ She mentioned that she could empathize with Britney when she watched her older interviews.

At that point, the movie hadn’t been started yet, and it appeared as though Britney found Millie’s remarks upsetting.

She expressed on Instagram the day after, “Apparently there are plans for films based on my life… but let me clarify, I’m very much alive!!

Last year, following an intense competition among studios, Universal Studios emerged victorious in acquiring the rights to create a biographical film about Britney Spears. Subsequently, Jon M. Chu, renowned for his work on ‘Wicked’, agreed to helm this project.

Last month during the Golden Globe Awards, Jon shared insights about the production process of the biopic, emphasizing the need to handle a delicate tale with care, which implies the biopic shouldn’t be hastily released.

‘We’re developing it now and it’s a long road ahead,’ he said.

During an interview with Entertainment Tonight, the director of Crazy Rich Asians made it clear that he wanted to ensure Britney was informed about the movie based on her life, as he remained committed to keeping her in the picture.

He mentioned that she will play a significant role. At this point, I haven’t delved deeply into anything concrete, but she is certain to contribute substantially to this project. Moreover, he shared that he has some concepts and strategies in mind, but the work is still at a preliminary stage.

Earlier, a different source disclosed to DailyMail.com that Britney is currently developing tunes for an upcoming soundtrack.

According to an exclusive source, Britney herself is creating songs for the soundtrack of her upcoming biographical movie, and she’s playing a significant role throughout the production process.

She plans to re-record certain past songs to match the movie’s atmosphere. Additionally, some of her existing tunes will be remixed specifically for the film. She understands that to truly ignite enthusiasm, she needs one fresh hit – a song encapsulating her entire journey.

Last year, Britney’s book caused a sensation worldwide with its numerous startling confessions and explosive secrets that were revealed.

She went into great depth, discussing her well-known romance with Justin Timberlake as well as the thirteen-year period of her conservatorship.

In no time, it shot to fame as the best-selling celebrity memoir ever recorded, with sales exceeding a staggering 2 million copies within U.S borders – an achievement amplified by the captivating narration provided by none other than Michelle Williams in the audio version.

As a devoted fan following the latest updates from TMZ, I’ve learned that Britney Spears secured a 25% share in the net profits from her book, in addition to receiving an upfront payment of $12.5 million.
