With Searchlight Pictures, Taylor Swift will debut as a feature-length filmmaker.
The Oscar-winning studio behind “Nomadland” and “The Shape of Water” will develop the original script that the singer, composer, and director wrote.
Landing the project from one of the most successful bands in the world is a coup, but other crucial information, including a plot and casting, are being kept under wraps until a later date.
“Taylor is a storyteller and artist of a once-in-a-generation caliber.
The presidents of Searchlight, David Greenbaum and Matthew Greenfield, expressed their real excitement and honor in working with her as she began this novel and exciting creative path.
Swift just made history by being the first solo artist to ever win two MTV VMAs best director honors for her work on “The Man” and “All Too Well: The Short Film.”
Swift is the only female musician to have won album of the year three times and is an 11-time Grammy winner.
Swift’s tenth studio album, “Midnights,” was released in October.
Swift has developed a reputation for fusing pop, country, indie folk, and alternative rock flawlessly over the course of her career.
She has released three albums: 1989, Folklore, and Red.
The 14-minute “All Too Well: The Short Film,” written and directed by Swift, aired at the Toronto International Film Festival and Tribeca Film Festival in 2022.
Swift has also performed in films, including “Valentine’s Day,” “Cats,” and this year’s “Amsterdam” by David O. Russell.
Swift only had minor appearances in the latter two movies, which were infamous flops.
The horror comedy “The Menu” by Mark Mylod and the anticipated Oscar contender “The Banshees of Inisherin” by Martin McDonagh were both just released by Searchlight.
The following Yorgos Lanthimos film, “And,” starring Emma Stone, Jesse Plemons, and Willem Dafoe, will be released soon.
