Britney Spears is reportedly lined to up to play herself in a biographical film of her life.  

The pop princess – who is said to have earned the respect of industry insiders after garnering rave reviews for her guest spot on How I Met Your Mother – is reportedly in talks about a big screen remake of her troubled life.

A source tells the Mirror, “It’s the film everyone will be queuing to see. It will be dark and gritty – charting Britney’s devastating falls including her head-shaving ordeal and her traumatic custody battle for her two children.

“Let’s just say, it will not be for the faint-hearted. But it will also show the highs along her incredible life journey.”

Director Phil Griffin is said to be gearing up for the project but whether ex Justin Timberlake will come on board is anyone's guess.
