“Britney’s over the moon that her story is going to be on the big screen. She sold a ton of books, but she’s well aware that very few people read books compared to how many watch movies so this is going to spread her story and her truth to that many more people,” the source tells In Touch.
“She’s a huge Euphoria fan so the fact that Sydney Sweeney’s name is in the mix is super exciting,” the insider shares. “Not to mention having John. M Chu directing, he’s the best of the best and Britney’s giddy about working with him and producer Marc Platt.”
“Looking back she feels she was way too easy on Justin Timberlake, he was a complete douche about things she said that were totally indisputable. Now she will have the chance to go even harder on him,” the insider continues about her ex-boyfriend, whom she dated from 1999 until 2001. “And [ex-husband] Sam got off way too easy because it was already completed before their divorce, so her hope is that she can hit back at him with his movie.”
After noting that the “producers will handle all the legal aspects and make sure it’s all air tight,” the source says that it is Britney’s “job is to basically just tell them exactly what she wants so they can get as close to her truth as possible.”
“It’s going to be a massive moment of catharsis for her, not to mention a major payday,” the insider concludes. “It’s the big break she’s been waiting for, but of course people like Justin and Sam and her dad are all freaking out, and they should be! Britney is taking her power back and loving it.”
