Director Patrick Brice revealed the 37- year-old pop star’s involvement in the movie — her first turn on the big screen since 2002’s Crossroads — during a Los Angeles Times panel at Sundance Film Festival on Monday, January 28.

“The ghost of Britney Spears is in our movie,” Brice said.

The news came as a shock to star Jessica Williams. “Wait, what is this?” the 29-year-old exclaimed. “What?”

Brice then explained how the “Toxic” singer will be heard, if not seen, in the movie: “One of our characters — Calum Worthy’s character, Aidan — is obsessed with Britney Spears, and there’s a runner of him as he’s going crazy thinking that Britney is speaking to him from the walls.”

“As he is also getting gangrene, so he is starting to hallucinate,” added Demi Moore, who stars in the film as a megalomaniacal CEO who leads her staff on an ill-fated team-building exercise in a New Mexico cave.

Even after hearing the details, Williams was still astonished. “I gotta hear the outtakes,” she said. “I’m happy to have that energy in the film.”

Karan Soni, another star of the film, said the filmmakers threw around the names of many different artists since they weren’t sure who they could get.

“Through a series of connections we were able to get 10 minutes of [Britney’s] time to record this, which was so awesome,” Brice said.

Luann de Lesseps’ Ups and Downs: A Timeline of the 'RHONY' Star’s Struggles “This season, for me, is about redemption. After what I’d been through the last couple years — which has been hell — and then, before that, divorce, I just feel like this is the season where you get to see me shine,” the reality star, 54, says on the latest episode of the “Getting Real With the Housewives” podcast. “I thought I could shine last season. I just couldn’t because there was just so much that the women didn’t understand about me and what I was going through.” She explains that last season the cast thought she was “being narcissistic,” but it was harder than they thought, not drinking with them when she was on probation.
