Though Taylor Swift has conquered the music world and page 3, she is now willing to try her hand at acting. She had a voice role in last year’s animated movie, “The Lorax” and she also appeared in one of the episodes of “New Girl”. It seems like she is now ready to act with Hollywood legends like Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges.
Taylor Swift may be joining the cast of “The Giver”. It is an adaptation of the Newberry Medal-winning adult scientific fiction novel. The novel is written by Lois Lowry. The movie, directed by Philip Noyce is set in a futuristic, dystopian world. It is a place where the society has no emotion or memories. They have to rely on the past stories of every single person. The lead played by Brenton Thwaites is selected as a Receiver. The previous Receiver trains the new receiver but struggles with the responsibility given to him.
There is no confirmation on Swift’s role. However, she would be joined by Katie Holmes. The other cast members include Odeya Rush, Cameron Monaghan and Alexander Skarsgard.
This is a project which has been in talks for a long time and will finally start filming in the month of October. And let’s hope they do it justice, at least for the fans who grew up loving the source material.
