Taylor Swift debuted her “Fortnight” music video on YouTube Friday evening, along with lyric videos for both that song and the rest of her new surprise double-album, “The Tortured Poets Department.” The video features “Dead Poets Society” actors Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles in cameos, whom she joked about in social media posts where she shared the creative inspiration behind the striking, largely black-and-white clip.
“I’m still laughing from getting to work with the coolest guys on earth, Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles,” Swift wrote — perhaps also chuckling at her own self-referential cameos. She then added an explicit nod to the clear inspiration for her new album’s title: “(tortured poets, meet your colleagues from down the hall, the dead poets).”
The music video has a complex narrative, ranging from Swift being experimented on by Charles and Hawke in a Frankenstein-esque laboratory to Swift sitting across from Post Malone...

Taylor Swift has released the music video for her new Post Malone collaboration, “Fortnight, from her newly released album, The Tortured Poets Department. Alongside Swift and Malone, the video stars Ethan Hawke and Josh Charles, who previously appeared together in the 1989 film Dead Poets Society.
Swift wrote and directed the video herself. It opens with Swift in a wedding gown, restrained to a hospital bed in an institution. After being given a pill, she fantasizes/hallucinates various situation involving Malone’s character. Eventually, though, reality sets back in and Swift finds herself attached to a gurney, undergoing some sort of shock therapy.

Coming off one of the best films of last year, Tangerine, director Sean Baker is going from iPhone to 35mm for his next feature, The Florida Project. We spoke with him about the drama and now it’s recently gone into production, with Willem Dafoe spotted on set. Currently shooting in Orlando, it follows a six-year-old and her group of friends during summer break as they adventure and soar on youth while their parents handle real-life problems. Although there are no details on his role, one could assume Dafoe will play one of these parents. [Page Six]

Adi Shankar and Joseph Kahn, the filmmakers behind the popular “Power/Rangers” bootleg short film, are re-teaming for a feature-length satire about race relations, TheWrap has learned exclusively. Kahn, who is directing “Bodied,” developed the story with screenwriter and champion battle rapper Alex “Kid Twist” Larsen. Shankar is producing alongside Jil Hardin. Although principle photography is already underway in Los Angeles, the log line is being kept under wraps. But “Bodied” tackles race relations using the world of hip-hop rap battles as an entry point. Also Read: Bryan Cranston Compares 'Power Rangers' Movie to 'Dark Knight' Callum Worthy,...

When Taylor Swift’s music video for “Wildest Dreams” debuted during the MTV Video Music Awards, I wondered if the uncomfortable undertones of British Colonialism would ping the Internet’s controversy radar. It took a few days, but it finally happened. And — as always with a thorny issue like white imperialism — the lines were drawn in deep in the sand. On NPR, native Kenyan and Ugandan authors Viviane Rutabingwa and James Kassaga Arinaitwe discussed the sting of seeing the fantasy of white colonial Africa play out yet again. Swift has played dress-up in loosely defined historical time periods before. “Love Story” ostensibly takes place in medieval times while “Mean” oscillates between Vaudeville and the 1950s. So without any context — thanks public education! — for exactly how much the pop culture ideal of early 20th-century Africa is whitewashed, the glamour of playing Elizabeth Taylor Light™ in an “exotic” location probably (egregiously) seemed like harmless fun.
