Who Ought to Play Whom within the Inevitable-Seeming Taylor Swift Biopic?

Between Timothée Chalamet enjoying Bob Dylan, Angelina Jolie enjoying Maria Callas, and Paul Mescal and Barry Keoghan apparently on their solution to get pudding-bowl haircuts for Sam Mendes’s upcoming Beatles movie, these of us preferring our movies drawn from the lives of iconic musicians have lots to look ahead to nowadays.

Additionally into the biopic motion? Six-time Oscar nominee Amy Adams, who informed Jimmy Fallon on Wednesday that she’d be 100% all the way down to play Taylor Swift’s legendarily fearsome publicist Tree Paine onscreen, ought to the chance arrive. “If it obtained me nearer to Taylor, then that might be enjoyable,” Adams stated.

Whereas there aren’t any public plans for a Swift (or Paine) biopic for the time being, it’s in all probability solely a matter of time, proper? To that finish, I’ve taken it upon myself to dream-cast the movie, and if anybody in Hollywood needs to pay me cash for this type of deranged inventive genius, they’re welcome to.

Margot Robbie as Taylor Swift

There’s extra to this casting selection than simply magnificence and blondeness, I promise: Robbie proved with Barbie that she’s greater than able to portraying a healthful, all-American icon, and he or she and Swift are precisely the identical age, which I really feel would lend a stage of verisimilitude to her efficiency. Plus, the 2 girls are associates, so Robbie would have the ability to examine Swift’s mannerisms up shut.

Sadie Sink as a Younger Tree Paine

I don’t know precisely what position a younger Tree Paine would play within the Taylor Swift biopic, given she and Swift met as adults, however perhaps there’s a flashback sequence or one thing? That’s a plot twist for the screenwriters to determine, however I feel Sink would play Paine’s steely-eyed, scarlet-haired resolve all too effectively. (Get it?)

James Van Der Beek as Travis Kelce

Sure, the previous Dawson’s Creek star must bulk up fairly a bit to seize the physique of Swift’s football-star boyfriend, however that’s not so exhausting to do. Then once more, Kelce famously turned a bona fide actor himself not too long ago, so perhaps he can play himself (with Swift’s hard-won approval, after all).

Timothée Chalamet as Matty Healy

Does Chalamet have the vary to play a chainsmoking British semi-dirtbag? (Don’t @ me, The 1975 superfans!) I feel so, but when he can’t pull it off, perhaps considered one of his doppelgangers can.

Alana Hadid as Gigi Hadid

How will you do higher, casting-wise, than one other member of the Hadid household? Positive, Bella could be nice, however Gigi’s older half-sister Alana may effectively ship an impressed interpretation of considered one of Swift’s all-time besties.

Reneé Rapp as Cara Delevingne

These two flaxen-haired celesbians are associates who’ve additionally served as Megan Thee Stallion’s de facto bodyguards, so finding out Delevingne’s vibe could be a snap for Rapp (no rhyme supposed). She‘s already obtained the accent down.
