Twain, 60, will reportedly be involved in the project as producer, alongside Amie Karp.\n\nMcKendrick, 39, previously wrote and directed Scrambled in 2023 and the upcoming Netflix romantic comedy, Voicemails for Isabelle. Her past experience as a pop singer-songwriter played a role in her winning the Shania job, per Deadline.\n\nA rep for Twain had no comment.\n\n\"Long before I was making movies, I was shooting Shania music videos in my bedroom,\" McKendrick wrote on Instagram. \"This wild-hearted force of a woman means so much to me - and the world. It is a surreal dream come true to get to bring her trailblazing, gut-punching, awe-inspiring story to the screen (and ride horses and eat pasta in the process!)\nI am honored. I am humbled. I am READY. Let’s go, girls.\"\n\nWhile plot details for Shania weren't revealed, Twain's journey from Windsor, Ontario to country superstar in the 1990s offers plenty of inspiration for a feature film. Her catalog of smash hits includes “Man! I Feel Like a Woman,” “That Don't Impress Me Much,” “You're Still the One,” “Up!” and “I'm Gonna Getcha Good.”\n\nTwain is also preparing to release her seventh studio album, Little Miss Twain, next month. In an interview with PEOPLE at Shania Twain's Rose Ceremony in May, Twain said the new record is a “reflection of my childhood” and the “environment I grew up in.”\n\n\"I'm turning 60 and I feel good and I've got to celebrate that. I'm grateful to have made it this far,\" Twain told PEOPLE. \"So I was celebrating that with all of the Queen of Me music. But who makes you who you become basically. I had never shared that with the fans before.\"\n\n\"It was really fun to revisit the past with a really great and positive outlook,” Twain later told PEOPLE. “I took ownership of being able to say to myself and to share it out loud in the music that it's made me who I am. I wouldn't trade it for anything because I'm actually quite happy with where I am and who I am and I wouldn't trade that.\"\n\nLittle Miss Twain, her first album since 2023's Queen of Me, will be released on July 24.\n---End Quote---",
