Swift to star in The Giver

Country star Taylor Swift has been reportedly cast alongside Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges in sci-fi thriller The Giver. The 23-year-old I Knew You Were Trouble singer was spotted getting cosy with Australian newcomer Brenton Thwaites at Toronto International Film Festival earlier this September. The pair was introduced by Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Company will produce The Giver, reported New York Post. “Harvey introduced Taylor to Brenton in Toronto because they were both going to be in the film,” a source said. True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard is also being considered for a role in the movie. The Giver is set in a dystopian society, which is disturbed when a 12-year-old boy named Jonas (Thwaites) is selected to learn from an elderly man, The Giver (Bridges).
