Taylor Swift to play Joni Mitchell in film adaptation of 'Girls Like Us'?

[beautywickedlover]

She may not have gotten the role of Eponine in 'Les Miserables', but Taylor Swift still might have a big movie project after all. She is reportedly the front-runner to play legendary folk singer Joni Mitchell in a movie adaptation of the book, 'Girls Like Us'. I think that she actually might be more in her comfort zone in this role than Eponine. What do you all think?

I generally like Taylor Swift and I absolutely love Joni Mitchell...but I'm not sure about this.

Can someone teach her how to act? The one thing I saw her in (that gawd-awful Valentine's Day) she was gawd-awful.

^ I thought she was great as the voice of Audrey in 'The Lorax' and I really enjoyed her appearances on 'Saturday Night Live'.

She can't act. She can't sing live. Bad move.

[beautywickedlover]

I know that not everyone likes her voice, but I have seen her perform live twice. The first time was on her Fearless Tour and the other time was at the 2011 CMA Awards and I thought she was great both times.

ETA: I was a member of the audience at the CMA Awards

I have only seen her sing live on awards shows and never have I thought she sounded good.

Alison Pill as Carole King? Did they also audition Betty White?

They need a Jewish girl for Carole King. They should have at least tried for Lea Michele.

[strummergirl]

Pill can act and I am pretty sure played her own instruments (albeit as a drummer) and vocals for Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

If only Sissy Spacek could go back in a time machine and play Mitchell. She'd be perfect.

They need to find a fine actress to honor Joni-no Taylor Swift. Can Judy Greer sing?

I heard this and immediately thought that I could never picture Taylor Swift being loved so naughty she goes weak in the knees.
