Amy Adams Is Down to Play Tree Paine
For years now, the people have been clamoring for a movie about Taylor Swift’s formidable publicist, Tree Paine. Because Paine’s most prominent characteristics are a penchant for ferocious PR strategies and red hair, the pool of candidates for fan-casting is small: Jessica Chastain, Christina Hendricks, and Amy Adams have been floated. And now, at least one of them has given her unofficial seal of approval: Adams says she’s in to play Paine if the opportunity arises.
During an appearance on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon showed Adams a 2019 Hunter Harris tweet predicting she would win an Oscar for playing the woman who keeps Swift’s image intact. “Uh, that would be amazing,” Adams responded to the proposal. “If it got me closer to Taylor, then that would be so fun.” She explained that she became a “Swiftie at 50” after a friend got her tickets to the Eras Tour. Adams also has a history with Swift — apparently they once sang karaoke together at an awards-show after-party.
Sounds like she meets all the requirements. Let’s get this project rolling, shall we?
