Shortly after the announcement that the movie is in the works was made, Spears’ former longtime assistant, Felicia Culotta, told“I was like, I love her assistant. I mean, it’s my true dream to play Britney Spears,” she said. “It’s a rumor, but I hope maybe it’ll come true. I mean, I remember I locked myself in my room and listened to In the Zone and said, ‘I cannot leave this room until I memorize every word.
She added, “I mean, I sing Britney to my son in the bath all the time. I’m always like, ‘God, he must think I’m so weird.’ That’s some millennial parenting.” Roberts is known for starring in American Horror Story and for playing Chanel Oberlin in Scream Queens. Her filmography includes 2006’s Aquamarine, 2007’s Nancy Drew, 2010’s Valentine’s Day, 2011’s Scream 4, 2013’s We’re the Millers, 2015’s The Blackcoat’s Daughter, 2016’s Nerve, 2020’s The Hunt, and 2024’s Madame Web, among other titles.
