it's getting weird

or if they didn't feel a need to say taylor's name, at least use audio of someone saying sabrina carpenter and ed sheeran's names when they show up on screen. it's like travis is the only actual character introduced, even amongst other celebrities

even when someone working on the tour is shown talking about taylor, they only refer to her on screen as "the boss." the editors have framed her as the leader of the project the series is documenting and granted actual personhood to her fiance exclusively.

I know this all seems so nitpicky and whatever but this is the TRAILER. this is the preview meant to set the tone for the entire series and travis kelce is the only one introduced with any specific personhood.

also the only other name mentioned in any capacity is travis's football coach which taylor mentions during a filmed phone call with travis.

you see plenty of other people shown in candid footage, but they're never formally identified. even the words "taylor swift" can not be heard. in fact, the only time any variation of her name is spoken is when you hear travis yelling "tay tay"

Sabrina is so perfect that I almost wouldn't want to cast her just because it's too obvious, but it being obvious wouldn't change the fact that she would give an impeccable performance. Her popstar persona practically exists in the universe of that film.

Sabrina would also be a great option. Or Addison, though I don't know if she can really act (the only think I've actually seen her in is season 3 of Monster and while I wasn't blown away by her performance, I'm not gonna hold it against her too much)

it's not so much the physique for me, more just the camp/humor element (and for Pam specifically, her experience with B-movies like Barb Wire)

maybe once all these Charli XCX acting projects come out, I'll start lobbying for her to be the new Barbarella. I don't hate the idea of a pop girlie getting the job.

As for the director, I think it should IDEALLY be a woman (and even more ideally: me), but there are plenty of male directors that I think could be up for the task (Raimi, Sean Baker, Robert Eggers) and Edgar Wright isn't one of them.

I like the idea of an unknown playing Barbarella, mostly because I literally just can't think of an actress below the age of 50 that I think would be totally appropriate (if we're going above 50, then Sofia Vergara or, the obvious choice, Pam Anderson).
