Los Angeles: Taylor Swift, a singer-songwriter-hitmaker, is expected to 'enchant' (pun intended) the audience with her debut as a feature film director.
According to Variety, the Oscar-winning production company behind "The Shape of Water" and "Nomadland" will develop an original script that she has written. Landing the project from one of the world's most successful bands is a coup, but other crucial aspects, including a plot and casting, are being kept under wraps until a later date, IANS reported.
"Taylor is a once-in-a-generation artist and storyteller. It is a genuine joy and privilege to collaborate with her as she embarks on this exciting and new creative journey," said Searchlight presidents David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield.
According to Variety, Swift recently became the only solo artist ever to be honoured with two best direction awards at the MTV VMAs for her work on 'All Too Well: The Short Film' and 'The Man'. Swift is an 11-time Grammy winner and the only female artist to win album of the year on three different occasions. In October, Swift released 'Midnights', her 10th studio album.
The 14-minute production of 'All Too Well: The Short Film', which Swift wrote and directed, screened at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival and Toronto International Film Festival.
Swift has also acted on screen, appearing in 'Valentine's Day', 'Cats' and, this year, in David O. Russell's 'Amsterdam'. The latter two films were notorious bombs, but Swift only had small roles in them.
