Taylor Swift puts THAT Cats disaster behind her with new acting role in David O. Russell’s A-list movie alongside Margot Robbie and Christian Bale
It looks like Taylor Swift has nine lives as an actress, set to appear in a new film from director David O. Russell.
Swift is heading back to the big screen after her part as Bombalurina in the dismal 2019 adaptation of the musical Cats, which was a critical disappointment and a box office flop.
Now, the pop superstar, 31, has been cast opposite Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Rami Malek and Zoe Saldana in a project penned and directed by Russell, according to Variety.

There are few details about the O. Russell project, with the title of the film and plot details still remaining secret.
The film, which was directed and penned by Russell, has already completed production and Disney’s 20th Century Studios will be releasing the project.
This will be the filmmaker’s first return to the big screen since 2015’s Joy with Jennifer Lawrence.
He’s revered for Oscar-winners like American Hustle and Silver Linings Playbook.

Swift had a packed pandemic, releasing hit albums Folklore and Evermore back-to-back.
Swift isn’t exactly a rookie when it comes to movies.
She made her film debut in the 2010 romantic comedy Valentine’s Day, which also starred Jessica Alba, Jessica Biel, Taylor Lautner and Bradley Cooper, who is the lead in Russell’s project.
Her other acting credits include a role in The Giver as well as a voice part in the animated Dr. Seuss movie The Lorax.
The Lover songstress was the subject of the 2020 Netflix documentary Miss Americana, which premiered at last year’s Sundance Film Festival.
