Taylor Swift set for David O Russell movie
The film marks Swift’s first onscreen role since 2019’s Cats, playing Bombalurina in the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical
Taylor Swift will join the huge ensemble cast of David O. Russell's upcoming film, Canterbury Glass, starring Christian Bale.
The movie will be Russell's first film since Joy in 2015 with Jennifer Lawrence, Édgar Ramírez, and Robert De Niro.
Russell, the filmmaker behind the Oscar-winning movies "American Hustle" and "Silver Linings Playbook," is directing the film from his own script. Plot details are being kept under wraps, with the movie having already completed production in Los Angeles. 20th Century Studios will release the project but has yet to set a date.
The film marks Swift's first onscreen role since 2019's Cats, playing Bombalurina in the Universal adoption of the Andrew Lloyd Webber stage musical. Her other acting credits include Garry Marshall's Valentine's Day and the adaptation of the young adult classic The Giver, starring Meryl Streep. She also was the subject of the Netflix documentary Miss Americana, which premiered at the 2020 Sundance Film Festival.
