mel-o-d Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 January 11, 2001Web posted at: 8:14 AM EST (1314 GMT)LOS ANGELES, (Reuters) -- Weeks after Britney Spears landed a reported $1 million book deal comes word that the sassy teen pop sensation will soon be making her first feature film. After considering numerous movie offers, Spears, 19, has accepted a leading role in a coming-of-age story to be co-produced by her music label, Jive Records, entertainment trade paper The Hollywood Reporter said Wednesday. The as-yet-untilted film, budgeted at about $10 million, is scheduled to start shooting in March with a little-known director, Tamra Davis, at the helm, the Reporter said. Spears' publicist, Jive Records and Filmco, the Los Angeles production company said to be co-financing the project, had no immediate comment. Spears, who is expected to sing in the film, will play a straight-laced, straight-A high school student who ends up on a cross-country trip with two childhood friends -- one a cheerleader, the other a burnout. Along the way, they meet a young would-be musician who persuades them to go to Los Angeles to compete in a musical contest. Her venture onto the big screen comes about a month after the Random House imprint, Delacorte Press Books for Young Readers, announced that it would publish a novel written by Spears and her mother, Lynne. Rights to the story reportedly were acquired in a two-book deal worth more than $1 million. Spears' autobiography, "Heart to Heart," already has sold more than 150,000 copies. Last week, Spears earned two Grammy nominations for her smash album, "Oops! ... I Did It Again," which has sold more than 7.8 million copies, and for the hit title track off that release.
