Country singer Taylor Swift is under consideration for the role of Joni Mitchell in an upcoming biopic based on the book Girls Like Us.
Variety is reporting that the 22-year-old is high on Sony Pictures’ list of singers who could convincingly portray Mitchell physically and musically. It would be Swift’s first dramatic movie role.
The film adaptation will chronicle the careers of the legendary folksinger of Blue fame plus Carly Simon and Carole King.
Shooting is expected to begin by the end of the year under the direction of House executive producer Katie Jacobs.
Talk about type casting. We think she’d be perfect!
