After speaking out about her desire for Hollywood to support female filmmakers in making more original content<\/a>, Margot Robbie is continuing to dispel myths around her upcoming work. <\/span><\/p>\n

The 33-year-old actress was previously reported to be one of many film industry heavyweights who were interested in adapting Britney Spears\u2019 best-selling memoir, The Woman In Me<\/em><\/a>, into a live-action biopic. <\/span><\/p>\n

Robbie, who served as executive producer on <\/span>Barbie <\/span><\/i><\/a>and<\/span> Saltburn<\/a> (<\/span><\/i>among others), was alleged to have contented with the likes of Reese Witherspoon and Brad Pitt in an \u201ceight-figure\u201d bidding war<\/a> for the theatrical rites of Spears\u2019 novel. <\/span><\/p>\n

Through her production company LuckyChap Entertainment, which she co-founded with husband Tom Ackerley<\/a>, Robbie focuses on empowering female narratives and telling the stories of unsung heroines, such as the riveting Netflix series <\/span>Maid <\/span><\/i><\/a>or reframing the story of disgraced ice skater Tonya Harding in <\/span>I, Tonya<\/span><\/i><\/a>.<\/a> <\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s not outside of Robbie\u2019s wheelhouse to adapt source material as profound and pertinent as Spears\u2019 work. But according to the actress and executive producer herself, Spears\u2019 truth won\u2019t be told under her helm. <\/span><\/p>\n

When asked earlier in the year about the reports, Robbie revealed that she was only just hearing of the murmurs and that it\u2019s \u201cnot true\u201d. Then again at the 2023 Gotham Awards<\/a>, Robbie doubled down to reject the notion by denying claims that she was looking to play Spears in the film adaptation of her life. \u201cNot true,\u201d Robbie said through a stifled laugh before adding, \u201cLove Britney, though, love Britney!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Spears, who sold over a million copies<\/a> of the book in the first week of publishing, hasn\u2019t publicly touched on the possibilities of adapting her life and legacy into a movie. The memoir served as a medium for Spears to finally share her side of the story<\/a>, so it\u2019s possible that the reported \u201cbidding war\u201d will be futile. <\/span><\/p>\n

Michelle Williams, who was praised for her narration of the audiobook version of the memoir, helped breathe life into the dark tale of tortured romances, a forced abortion<\/a> and a fatal 13-year conservatorship<\/a>. B<\/span>ased on Spears\u2019 reaction to a potential biopic in November 2022, it appears this sonic version may be the closest we get to a theatrical release. \u201cI hear about people wanting to do movies about my life\u2026dude I\u2019m not dead !!!\u201d Spears wrote at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":42674,"featured_media":83994,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[23,16],"yoast_head":"\nMargot Robbie Denies Adapting Britney Spears'
