dream impossible dreams :)

Swift announced she’d be writing and directing her first feature film in 2022, in partnership with Searchlight Pictures (Disney’s prestige film label behind “Black Swan” and “The Favourite”). Plot details were scant, but in interviews over the past three years she’s alluded her script will have elements of drama and comedy. Searchlight heralded the project with a full press release, with company principals calling Swift a “once in a generation artist and storyteller.” At the time, the hope was to fast-track the project – soon dashed when Swift’s record-breaking Eras Tour was announced and later extended. Earlier this year, the InSneider reported that Swift had tapped screenwriter Alice Birch (“Die, My Love,” “Lady Macbeth”) to take a pass on a script draft. Sources denied anyone but Swift would handle the screenplay. Searchlight is still in a holding pattern, one source familiar with the project said, waiting for Swift to call with any updates. A rep for Swift had no immediate comment on the matter, nor did a Searchlight Pictures spokesperson. Still, there’s an inkling of hope that Swift will turn her attention to her movie in the coming months.

fallontonight : You don’t know The Life of a Showgirl, Jimmy 🔥

Writing, rehearsing, directing and shooting the music video for “The Fate of Ophelia” was the thrill of a lifetime because I got to be reunited with my Eras Tour family!! I wanted each one-take scene to feel like a live performance and remind us all of how it felt to be at those shows together. Making every moment count. It’s a journey through the chaotic world of show business. I loved working with Rodrigo Prieto, Ethan Tobman and Mandy Moore to dream up these visuals. A huge thank you to this massive cast who kept it 💯 and also kept the secret of this video even existing. It’s out on YouTube NOW!
