There was a lot of excitement about acquiring the rights to The Woman In Me, but then Britney had some concerns. Advertisement READ MORE ON BRITNEY SPEARS 'She found discussing her past very traumatic and it prompted negative thoughts. 'Our moment' 'So for that stuff to then be put together in a film version and visually relived is a real issue. Jon and Britney need time to work through his vision of the film and her needs too.

I think the way is very slowly and empathetically.' Hinting Britney still needs some persuasion in putting her life on the big screen, he added: 'The only support we have is because nobody else outside of our circle knows the secret of what we're doing. 'And I think that starts from the very beginning of saying, 'Listen, we're going to jump out of this plane together and we're going to have to build a parachute.
