If you grew up belting Man! I Feel Like A Woman! into a hairbrush, we have very good news for you. A feature film on the life of Shania Twain is officially in the works and the 60-year-old superstar herself is on board as a producer.
Titled simply Shania, the film will chart the singer's extraordinary journey from a poverty-stricken childhood in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, all the way to the top of the country music world. Think small-town girl, enormous dreams, and a rhinestone-studded rise to global superstardom.
At the helm is director Leah McKendrick, the filmmaker behind Scrambled and the upcoming Netflix rom-com Voicemails for Isabelle. To say she's excited would be an understatement. Taking to Instagram, McKendrick wrote that long before she was making movies, she was shooting Shania music videos in her bedroom. She called the project a "surreal dream come true" and signed off with the legendary words: Let's go, girls.
Twain will produce the film alongside Amie Karp, though plot details are still being kept close to the chest. What we do know is that the film is expected to focus on her meteoric rise through the 1990s, the era that gave us You're Still the One, That Don't Impress Me Much, and Up!
And if you think Twain is slowing down at 60; think again. She is also gearing up to drop her seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain, on July 24. Speaking to PEOPLE, the singer said the record draws from her childhood and the world she grew up in. "I'm turning 60 and I feel good and I've got to celebrate that," she said, adding that she finally wanted to share with fans exactly what shaped who she became.
One film, one album, and zero signs of stopping. That, quite simply, does not impress us much but rather it absolutely blows us away. And honestly? The timing couldn't be more perfect. With biopics on music legends dominating screens worldwide, from Bohemian Rhapsody to Back To Black, Shania Twain's story of survival, reinvention and record-breaking success feels like it was always destined for the big screen. A girl who grew up with nothing, conquered Nashville, sold over 100 million records, and came back stronger after losing her voice entirely? Hollywood couldn't write it better if it tried. We'll be first in line for tickets.
