Pop superstar Taylor Swift is heading back to the big screen. The 31-year-old is set to appear in David O. Russell’s first project after 2015’s Joy. The super-secret film is said to be a period piece but details about the plot and the very title itself are being kept under tight wraps. The evermore artist is returning to the big screen for the first time since the movie musical, Cats. Swift’s acting credits also include her role as Jeff Bridges’ hologram daughter in The Giver, and before that she was a cartoon human in The Lorax. Moreover, more than a decade ago she also starred in Valentine’s Day. And now, according to Collider’s unnamed insider folks, Swift is going to join Russell’s mysterious new movie. Similar to the plot of the period film, Swift’s role is being kept under wraps, though her involvement in the untitled project was first tipped by gossip account Deuxmoi on Instagram before being reported by Showbiz 411.
What we do know about this movie is that it will have a truly impressive cast. In addition to Swift, the movie will star Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Rami Malek, Zoe Saldana, Anya Taylor-Joy, Chris Rock, Mike Myers, Michael Shannon, Robert De Niro, Andrea Riseborough, Matthias Schoenaerts, Timothy Olyphant, and Alessandro Nivola. Production for the movie has already wrapped in Los Angeles and its release is slated via 20th Century Studios, though no specific date has yet been announced. The movie has extremely limited details, but if one thing is sure — it will be star-studded.
The 31-year-old pop superstar recently broke the all-time U.S. record for largest vinyl album sales in a single week, with her ninth studio album, evermore, selling over 40,000 copies in just three days. Evermore’s vinyl record was released on May 28 and smashed the single-week sales according to MRC Data, Billboard reported. Until now, the crown had been held by Jack White’s Lazaretto, which sold 40,000 copies during the first week it dropped in June 2014. The eleven-time Grammy winner initially released evermore on December 11 of last year, describing it as a “sister album” to her surprise record, folklore. Upon its release, evermore debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart.
