Taylor Swift confirmed to play Joni Mitchell in new movie
POP sensation Taylor Swift has signed a deal to play Joni Mitchell in a film about the Canadian singer/songwriter.
The movie will be based on Sheila Weller's 2008 book Girls Like Us, which charts the lives of female music icons Joni, Carole King and Carly Simon.
Newsroom star Alison Pill is being tipped to play Carole and Mad Men's Jessica Pare is favourite to take on the role of You're So Vain star Carly.
The film is Taylor's latest venture into acting - after her successful stint in romcom Valentine's Day.
She also lent her voice to the character of Audrey in Dr. Seuss movie Lorax.
But the currently-unnamed movie will be the biggest role of her fledgling acting career.
Taylor does have a headstart before the cameras start rolling - she bears more than a passing resemblance to 68-year-old Joni, whose hits include Big Yellow Taxi and Woodstock.
