Taylor Swift is going to be in the movie adaptation of one of my all-time favorite books, The Giver.

I don't have quite the hate for T Swizzy like some of you, but I don't like the idea of her testing her acting chops on what should be a great movie! Stick to singing, Taylor!

Man are they trying to make sure it's a horrible movie? (haven't read the book though)

I can't imagine the movie will live up to my expectations of such a beloved story, and TS is NOT going to help.

I don't know what The Giver is, but I'm annoyed with TSwift on the regular.

That said, the only Lois Lowry movie adaptation I know of was the TV movie I'm Waiting For You or something, based on (loosely based on!) Gallows Hill, starring Soleil Moon Frye. Which was awesome in its cheesiness.

Omg, I just looked this up and it stars Sarah Chalke too! I must see this movie! lololol

I'm usually indifferent about Taylor Swift, but I love the Giver. I don't see this going well.

The casting on the movie I think is actually mostly okay. I'm not a huge fan of TSwift's acting, but hopefully her part as Rosemary will be pretty limited.

I don't think Katie has been working up to her full potential the last fee years, being tied up with Mr CrazyCakes and all.
