Is that a wig on Swifts head? That's my big question, as I can't watch the video from this computer.
ReplyDeleteI think she dyed her hair for this role.
DeleteI looked it up after I commented. From everything I read and saw, it's a wig.
DeleteAnd if it's true, I wonder what stopped her from committing to the role and really going for it, rather than putting a mop on her head.
yep, if it's a wig it's a really fake one :) But maybe she has a very small role in it...
DeleteThe Giver Great movie , and great trailer i want to see this .
ReplyDeleteCheers .
you might enjoy the book too, Vincent
DeleteMy word, THE GIVER, sounds intriguing and what a great cast!
ReplyDeletewe do love Meryl in anything
DeleteThe Giver was an excellent book - let's hope the movie is as good!
ReplyDeleteglad to hear the book was nice
DeleteI saw a trailer for this today when we went to see Divergent. If Taylor Swift was in the preview, I didn't even recognize her!
ReplyDeleteI think that she doesn't appear in this trailer, but I'm not sure, the girl is rather unfamiliar to me since she is not that big outside USA
Deletenever heard of the book
ReplyDeleteMe neither, but it is a bestseller
DeleteDark and moody...like me before my morning coffee.
ReplyDeleteI'm like that even after my morning black tea :)
DeleteI will have to read the book before the movie comes out.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you ever get to interview from the Red Carpet, I am going to be your date so I can wear a fancy dress. We would rock that carpet, you and I. We would be the 2 most fabulous people there ;)
Of course we would :) I actually got a few invitations for the premieres over the years as HOLLYWOOD SPY, not for big movies but still some nice ones, but I'm not in USA so nothing happened....
DeleteAwe, that's too bad you couldn't go, but so very cool to get the invites. Maybe some day it will pan out and you can attend!
Deletefingers crossed, although I wouldn't hold my breath :)
DeleteNever heard of it but it does have something?
ReplyDeletehope it doesn't disappoint, although I myself do not watch YA movies
DeleteThis does sound intriguing. Great trailer makes you wonder what is missing. The cast looks good too.
ReplyDeletewe do love Meryl in anything!
DeleteI have to see this movie! I loved the book. Funny- I was wondering if it would ever be turned into a movie.
ReplyDeletethen it will be double fun for you to watch it
DeleteI might make an exception on this one as I like to watch Streep and Bridges work.
ReplyDeletewe do love Meryl, dear, and we bow to her!
DeleteFinally something to look forward to. And it'd better not be superficial...
ReplyDeleteit might be, though....
