Britney Spears has yet to name the leading lady for her biopic … but those close to the pop star are already making suggestions.

Felicia Culotta, Britney’s former longtime assistant and confidante, tells TMZ … she’s so happy to hear the singer’s best-selling memoir, “The Woman in Me,” is being made into a movie. As she’s a significant character in the tell-all, she already has a couple of casting ideas … for Britney AND herself.

Britney & Felicia

For starters, she thinks Emma Roberts would be a stellar choice for Brit. Emma is best known for her work in the “American Horror Story” franchise … but was once a singing child star on Nickelodeon’s “Unfabulous,” which parallels Britney’s own roots on “The Mickey Mouse Club.”

Felicia has zeroed in on who she wants to play her — Drew Barrymore she says would nail it!

Emma and Drew aren’t the only A-listers Felicia’s putting out there … she’s certain Timothée Chalamet would make for a compelling Justin Timberlake. BTW, we agree.

Britney and Justin’s relationship was a core part of the singer’s memoir, as she detailed everything from the abortion she had at 19 to their emotional split. Felicia had a front-row seat to the drama — she was with BS when she decided to take the abortion pills.

Per Felicia, this biopic could be an Oscar contender … especially if Britney’s many hits are laced through the flick.

As TMZ previously reported … the big-screen adaptation of “The Woman in Me” is being directed by Jon M. Chu and produced by Marc Platt for Universal Pictures.

Now the bad news … we’re told Britney has creative control over script and casting. She has a track record of becoming displeased with various people in her life and cutting them off — Jamie, Jamie Lynn, Lynne, Kevin, Sam, etc. So don’t count your chickens that this movie will be completed, because there’s a long road ahead.
