It’s a Grammy, it’s a bird, it’s Taylor Swift! It’s the teen blond bombshell with her million dollar smile and looking killer in red tall boots. What else would you need for making a successful Supergirl movie?
The widely acclaimed teen music sensation might end up wrapping herself up in blue spandex to play Kara Zor-El, the cousin of Superman, also known as Supergirl for a remake of the original 1984 movie starring Helen Slater.
Industry insiders speaking to the Mirror UK said that several young stars had been mentioned to play the title role for the Supergirl movie along with a potential TV spin off, with Taylor Swift being at that very top of the list. Taylor is seen as someone with the right elements for being a very positive role model for young girls.
The conflict between Supergirl and Selena, a witch played by renowned actress Faye Dunaway, was at the center of the first Supergirl movie. Unfortunately even Dunaway’s acting wasn’t able to save the original movie from being a big bust. Instead of following with the traditional mythology along with kryptonite being the weakness of the super heroine’s weakness, the original movie focused more on witchcraft, which probably didn’t help the movie’s weak effects and plot. Even for 1984 they were too cheesy.
In the original movie the only really interesting part was a love triangle that was between the witch, Supergirl and the pair’s mutual love interest, Ethan, a groundskeeper who is given a love potion to fall for Selena.
The remake will hopefully avoid these weaknesses. Maybe they will be able to get Taylor Lautner for playing the role of Ethan. Or if he isn’t available, maybe Nicolas Cage. Right now he could sure use the money. He never seems to turn any script down.
Questions still abound. Will Taylor Swift end up playing the role of Supergirl, joining the legions of superhero movies bombarding the theaters? Will Taylor get the role? Who will end up playing her love interest?
