Director Steven Soderbergh is truly impressed with what Taylor Swift has accomplished and he’s fascinated with her Eras Tour, which has taken the world by storm. In fact, what Swift has accomplished is inspiring his next film project.
The filmmaker recently told Variety: “People laugh that there is a college class being taught about her and I go, ‘There should be. What she is doing, the way she is doing it… Nobody has ever done this before. The amount of control she has taken over. She is relentless.”
He continued: “These stories about doing the whole show on a treadmill, just to make sure she can do it?! It’s a success story and I am fascinated by that.
“[Screenwriter] David Koepp took his daughter to see the show and said, ‘You cannot believe what it’s like to be there.’ I would go if I could. There aren’t any tickets! But I watched the film.”
When talking about how Swift is inspiring his next movie, he explained: “I have been thinking about a project in which I analyze large scale, cooperative endeavors that work. Airports. Why do airports work? Or AA? You look at the Taylor Swift concert, at this whole tour and it works. So why can’t we figure out Syria or any other conflict?”
He went on to say: “Humor is a great delivery system for an idea and nothing lights up the brain like music, so this project better be funny and there should be some musical component as a way to open people up. I want you to come out on the other side after you see it, and feel different.”
Love her or hate her, you can’t deny that Swift is one of the hardest-working artists in the entertainment industry and she has accomplished something epic and incredible.
It will be interesting to see what Soderbergh ends up doing with this next film project of his.
