Hollywood superstar producers are vying for the right to film Britney Spears’ memoir The Woman in Me, Forbes reports. The book was published in late October and for the third week in a row topped the New York Times bestseller list.
To make a biopic on it want Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt, Shonda Rhimes and Reese Witherspoon. All of them own production companies.
According to sources, the price of the deal is already up to $4 million. This is a huge sum even for such a successful manuscript, the publication notes. At the same time there are more expensive offers. Some of the producers together with the rights to the best-seller want to get Spears herself. Sources familiar with this bidding war said that they are ready to invest $40 million in such a project.
