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. 

The star's book tells of her journey from child singer to her public breakdown and well-documented legal battles. 

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