Taylor Swift has been cast in The Giver.

An adaptation of the beloved Lois Lowry book is finally coming to the big screen, with Brenton Thwaites as Jonas, who lives in a dystopian world and meets The Giver, portrayed by Jeff Bridges.

The news was announced by The Weinstein Company on Friday.

Swift will portray Rosemary, the last teen mentored by The Giver before he takes on Jonas.

Meryl Streep will star as Chief Elder, with Alexander Skarsgard and Katie Holmes as Jonas’ parents.

Production is slated to begin in South Africa next month, with a release date less than a year from now — in August 2014.
