Australian actress Natasha Bassett (“Hail, Cesar!”) is set to star as Britney in the two-hour biopic, with production beginning on September 19 in Vancouver. The movie, with the working title Britney, will be produced by Asylum Entertainment. Surprise, surprise, though: Britney herself is reported not to be connected to the film at all!
Lifetime's biopics are pretty hit and miss, so God only knows what will happen with this. The only one that was really good was Toni Braxton's biopic, Unbreak My Heart, and that's because she was actively involved in the project and allowed her music to be used. If Britney hasn't signed off on this, no telling what we're going to get. Guess we'll see next year when the film is released!
