Billboard's Dream Cast for Britney Spears’ Biopic
With rumors of a Britney Spears biopic circulating, Billboard chimes in and releases their dream casting.
Here’s Our Dream Cast for Britney Spears’ Biopic https://t.co/5ae96BaHqM
- billboard (@billboard) August 9, 2024
According to Variety, Universal Pictures landed the rights to the pop princess’ best-selling memoir The Woman in Me. Wicked director Jon M. Chu and Marc Platt are reportedly leading the film’s development. Spears also took to X earlier this month to reveal that she’s been working on a “secret project” with Platt. “Excited to share with my fans that I’ve been working on a secret project with Marc Platt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned.”
Britney Spears played by Sydney Sweeney
Besides their obvious physical resemblance, Sweeney knows the struggle of how someone is portrayed to the media can be completely different to who she actually is. She’d be the perfect candidate to portray Britney from the lens of empathy and kindness, which is all the pop star asks for.
Justin Timberlake played by Gavin Casalegno
‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ star already has JT’s signature curls. Taking on the difficult experiences with Timberlake that Spears highlights in her book will take Casalegno from rising actor to full-blown movie star.
Christina Aguilera played by Dove Cameron
Dove Cameron is no stranger to the Disney machine herself, and knows the struggle of getting compared to other pop stars. Her musical ability combined with her acting talent makes her the perfect candidate to portray Xtina.
Jamie Lynn Spears played by Millie Bobby Brown
While Millie Bobby Brown has expressed that playing Britney in a biopic would be her dream role, she has the acting chops to take on Jamie Lynn and bring the depth to the sisters’ tumultuous relationship.
Sam Asghari played by Shervin Alenabi
Fellow Iranian star Shervin Alenabi looks a lot like Spears’ ex-husband, and the beloved actor will have no issues capturing the relationship between Asghari and Spears.
Jamie Spears played by Alec Baldwin
As much as this is an unfortunate casting for any actor, you can’t deny the resemblance between Baldwin and Spears’ estranged father.
Lynne Spears played by Sandra Bullock
Similar to Brown, Bullock is an acting pro. The star can easily channel the nuances in Spears’ relationship with her mother - and probably win an Oscar for it.
Madonna played by Christina Aguilera
OK, we know that Aguilera is a character in the film. However, instead of playing herself, it would be interesting to see Xtina take on a different relationship with Spears by portraying her mentor and collaborator, Madonna. She certainly has the musical chops for it!
More delusional casting at the source
I'm torn. On one hand I'm relieved Britney appears to be attached to the project and that she gets to tell her own story, on another this all feels overdone, ill-advised, and exploitative
