PICS: The new Britney Spears biopic looks like a trainwreck

Cape Town – As earlier reported, Lifetime is working on a biopic on Britney Spears. 

The movie is set to tell the "tumultuous true story" of her life focusing on her relationship with Justin Timberlake, her brief marriage to childhood friend Jason Alexander, her divorce from Kevin Federline and her broken engagement with Jason Trawick.

The pop star in turn hit back at the network slamming the film, saying she has not contributed to it and has not given it her blessing. (Read more here)

But this hasn't dampened the production of the film and the first stills of the movie have just been released. 

And it looks a hot mess. (sorry, not sorry)

Here’s Australian actress, Natasha Bassett as Britney Spears. 


And here’s Nathan Keyes as Justin Timberlake.

For good measure here's N'Sync played by Zac Vran as JC Chasez, Matt Visser as Joey Fatone, Connor Paton as Lance Bass, and Frankie Cena as Chris Kirkpatrick.


And what would a Britney tale be without the courting and her marriage to Kevin Federline played by Clayton Chitty.


Fans, celebrities and almost everyone had something to say about the upcoming flick, and it wasn't pretty.
