Getty Images via ABCBritney Spears is returning to the big screen nearly 17 years after Crossroads was released. The singer has a brief cameo in the upcoming horror-comedy Corporate Animals…or at least her voice does.
The movie’s director, Patrick Brice, revealed the news during a Los Angeles Times panel at the Sundance Film Festival earlier this week.
“One of our characters — Calum Worthy‘s character, Aidan — is obsessed with Britney Spears, and there’s a [scene] of him as he’s going crazy thinking that he is hearing Britney speaking to him from the walls,” Brice said.
He added, “Through a series of connections, we were able to get 10 minutes of her time to record this, which was so awesome.”
The cameo was so top-secret that not even cast member Jessica Williams knew about it until that moment.
“That is awesome. Wow, that’s awesome,” she said. “I gotta hear the outtakes…I’m happy to have that energy in the film.”
Corporate Animals, which also stars Demi Moore and Ed Helms, premiered at Sundance this week, but does not yet have a release date.
