Don’t pitch a biopic to Britney Spears. The “Toxic” singer, who has seen her share of both highs and lows throughout her life and career, has been the subject of multiple recent documentaries focusing on her former conservatorship. Some might say that what she’s been through could make for a compelling movie, and given her immense fame and success, it does seem probable that a Britney Spears biopic will happen one day.
Be that as it may, Spears herself doesn’t want to see that happen in the near future. In a recent post on Instagram, Spears wrote a celebratory message about getting her life back, seemingly enjoying her newfound freedom following the termination of her conservatorship. Spears also said she’s getting wind that people in Hollywood want to see her get the biopic treatment, and that’s something she finds offensive, pointing out she’s “not dead yet.”

“Good news, good news!!! Still breathing,” Spears says in the post, noting, “it’s funny the same two people who gave me life are the same exact 2 people who took it away … but guess what!!! I’m alive and I’m breathing again!!!”
She then added, “Now that I’m breathing … I have time … it’s different!!! I like it!!! I hear about people wanting to do movies about my life … dude I’m not dead!!! Although it’s pretty f***ing clear they preferred me dead.”

Spears has some experience with acting, having starred in the 2002 film Crossroads alongside names like Zoe Saldana, Taryn Manning, Anson Mount, Kim Cattrall, and Dan Aykroyd. She has also had sporadic cameos where she played herself, such as in the films Goldmember, Pauly Shore Is Dead, and Corporate Animals. Spears has also frequently appeared on television in shows like Will & Grace, How I Met Your Mother, Glee, and Jane the Virgin.
But Spears just doesn’t seem to feel that it’s time for her own story to get a full feature film. Meanwhile, plenty of other musicians will instead be given the biopic treatment. Just recently, Roku released WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story, a “Weird Al” Yankovic film that essentially serves as a parody of musician biopics. Yankovic co-wrote the movie and was featured in a special role. Madonna is also spearheading a biopic about her life and personally chose Julia Garner to play her in the upcoming film.
There are plenty of biopics in the works about late singers as well. Some of the many music legends who have movies about them in the works include Buddy Holly, Bob Marley, Amy Winehouse, Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, and Ronnie Spector, among others.
