Breaking: Meryl Streep. Anya Taylor Joy to Play Joni Mitchell in Cameron Crowe Biopic

Share

Holy moly!

Cameron Crowe has found two major stars for his Joni Mitchell biopic.

Scoopster Jeff Sneider reports that “Both Sides Now” will star Meryl Streep as Joni now and Anya Taylor Joy as Joni in her heyday.

That’s a movie I want to see@

The Streep part indicates that we’ll see Joni overcome her devastating stroke only to make a triumphant return to performing. There won’t be a dry eye in the house!

Crowe is devoted to Mitchell and is certainly an expert in the field. Can’t wait@
