Britney in movie comeback talks

Britney Spears has started talks about re-launching her movie career, say US reports.

The pop singer's last appearance on the big screen came in 2002's Crossroads.

She is now being lined up to appear in director Tommy Parker's new film Memoirs Of A Medicated Child, according to the New York Post.

Parker commented: "As far as Britney's concerned, we're talking."

Spears will play the girlfriend of a misdiagnosed mentally ill patient if she agrees to star in the film.

She was allegedly chosen for the role by producers ahead of fellow actress Lindsay Lohan.
