A Britney Spears biopic is coming to the big screen after Universal Pictures secured the movie rights to her autobiography.

The star's best-selling book, "The Woman In Me" will be turned into a feature length film by director Jon Chu, who directed "Crazy Rich Asians".

Spears posted on social media that she was excited to work with producer Marc Platt, who is set to oversee the project.

Excited to share with my fans that I've been working on a secret project with #MarcPlatt. He’s always made my favorite movies … stay tuned 🌹🎥

The book has sold over 2.5 million copies in the US since its release last October.
