Britney Spears fans will be following suit to Swifties and pouring into the theaters this October as Spears will make her return to the big screen!
Spears’ first feature film, Crossroads, is returning to theaters in honor of her upcoming release for her highly anticipated memoir “The Woman in Me.”
According to a press release from Sony Music Entertainment, Trafalgar Releasing, and RCA Records, the special global event will take place on October 23rd and 25th. Crossroads will be available in over 875 locations across 24 countries.
The 2002 film penned by Shonda Rimes featuring Spears, Zoe Saldana, Taryn Manning, and Anson Mount continues to be a fan favorite for many for good measure. Since its premiere two decades ago, it has garnered over $60 million globally and will surely see a good increase during the event.
Following the lives of three friends reunited for a cross-country trip, the film had audiences mesmerized thanks to the enticing storyline, comedic factors, and Spears’ performance alongside her melodic vocals.
But wait, there’s more! Not only will fans be able to see the stars’ powerhouse performance on the big screen for the first time in 21 years, but RCA Records will also be releasing a brand new soundtrack for the film.
“Crossroads: Special Edition” will be released on October 20th and feature three brand new, never-heard-before songs to celebrate the film’s re-release. Those tracks will be comprised of “Overprotected” (Richi Lopez remix), “I’m Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman” (Snakehips remix), and “I Love Rock ‘N Roll” (Frank Walter remix).
In response to the recent announcement, director Tamra Davis says she’s thrilled about the announcement. “I recently re-watched Crossroads and was so enthralled with the time capsule of nostalgia that this incredible ensemble cast brings to the screen. Britney is absolutely breathtaking to watch, and Shonda is showing us her early expertise in writing complicated female characters,” said Davis.
Tickets for the film will go on sale at 9 a.m. EST on Thursday, September 28th, and can be bought here.
