Swift’s feature film directorial debut with Searchlight Pictures will feature her original script. Little else is known about the project at this time, as information regarding the name, the genre of film, casting, and release window is being kept under wraps. However, the fact that it is an original script that’s being produced with such a well-known studio is sure to intrigue film buffs who may not have known of the music artist’s previous work, although Swift did win two “Best Direction” awards at the MTV VMAs for the short films she directed. It was also recently reported thatRyan Reynolds wants Swift forDeadpool 3, citing his entire family in support of her musical career.
Although Swift is now transitioning from songwriting and performing to directing a film, the artist has always had an interest in film. In fact,Swift wanted to be cast inTwilight, which at the time was the epitome of pop culture. Just as the artist has been known to successfully transition fluently between different music genres, the same can be said about her visual style, which will now be highlighted in a feature-length film that is sure to be the artist’s voice since the script is of her own making.
Searchlight Pictures’The Menu, a pitch-black comedy about food culture and celebrity chefs directed by Mark Mylod, is the latest from Searchlight Pictures. If the past films by Searchlight Pictures are anything to go by, then Swift’s new film should be an emotional journey into a phenomenon that reflects today’s world.
