New York:
Country star Taylor Swift has been reportedly cast alongside Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges in sci-fi thriller The Giver.
The 23-year-old I Knew You Were Trouble singer was spotted getting cosy with Australian newcomer Brenton Thwaites at Toronto International Film Festival earlier this month.
The pair were introduced by Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Company will produce The Giver, reported New York Post.
"Harvey introduced Taylor to Brenton in Toronto because they were both going to be in the film," a source said.
True Blood star Alexander Skarsgard is also being considered for a role in the movie.
The Giver is set in a dystopian society, which is disturbed when a 12-year-old boy named Jonas (Thwaites) is selected to learn from an elderly man, The Giver (Bridges), about the pain and strife of the real world.
Streep's alter-ego is in charge of keeping order in the society, but that authority is put in danger when the youngster is chosen to be the receiver of memories of life before the 'sameness movement', which froze the population and created conformism.
The movie is based on a 1993 novel by Lois Lowry.
