Variety for a new interview marking the cult movie’s milestone anniversary.“When we would have screenings for the film… she would see what an impact she had and how this movie really affected people,” Davis, 60, recalled. “I think there was a lot of pressure.”Davis says that pressure, combined with hardships in her personal life, caused Spears to break.
“Very soon after the film came out, her life kind of came crashing [down],” the director declared. “She and Justin [Timberlake] broke up, and then her mom and dad broke up.
Things just started to fall apart around her.”“Crossroads” saw Spears play protagonist Lucy Wagner, a small-town girl from Georgia who embarks on a cross-country road trip to LA with two other teens, played by Zoe Saldana (who went on to “Avatar” fame) and Taryn Manning (who later starred in “8 Mile” and “Orange is the New Black”).After the film’s release, Spears suffered a public breakdown, and a conservatorship was put into place that allowed her father, Jamie, to oversee nearly every single aspect of her life. Davis told Variety that she was blocked from contacting Spears in the years after “Crossroads,” saying: “It just broke my heart to see her reduced down to what happened to her.”And while pressure on Britney was already showing while shooting the movie, Davis recalled that the pop star was “a badass business woman” who was involved in almost all aspects of production.
According to Davis, Spears hired Shonda Rhimes to write the screenplay for the film, which revolved around three young women taking a cross-country road trip. Rhimes — who went on to create “Grey’s Anatomy” and is now one of the most powerful people in showbiz — was relatively unknown before being selected by Spears.
