How Taylor Swift Cast Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink in Short Film ‘All Too Well'
Taylor Swift had only two people in mind to star in her "All Too Well" short film: Dylan O'Brien and Sadie Sink.
In the project, the "Teen Wolf" alum and the "Stranger Things" actress play love interests in turmoil. Swift also appears herself and directed the angst-filled short, which includes a new, 10-minute version of the track of the same name that appears on her re-recorded version of her 2012 album "Red," which was released Friday, Nov. 12, amid a battle over control of the pop star's music.
"I got their numbers and sent them text messages and I had already created an entire treatment and script and like, visual kind of references of what I wanted to do," Swift told E!'s Daily Pop about casting O'Brien and Sink. "I wanted to have everything ready, like, this is my DP, this is who we are using for set design, this is who we are using for editing, this is who we are using for, this is the producer. I wanted them to know all of the information so they could make a choice and sent them the song."
Speaking at the premiere of "All Too Well" in New York Friday, Swift continued, "They had the song before anyone else had the song and when they said yes, I was so elated because I didn't have backups in mind."
And when Swift asked O'Brien to star in the project, which he called a "trip," he did not hesitate.
"I didn't know [Taylor] knew who I was at all," he said. "I've been a fan of hers for a long time, I love her, even more now. She's like the best person ever, she is so brilliant. So yeah, it was like an automatic yes. I think we were sort of just hanging out on the phone and she asked me a while into it, like, you know, how long I wanted to think or whatever and it's OK if I wanted to say no, and I was like, oh it's not even a question."
Swift told Daily Pop that "All Too Well" is a "coming-of-age film about a very specific time in someone's life when you are between 19 and 20."
"You have one foot in childhood and one in adulthood and you don't quite know where to stand and how fragile that makes you in that moment," she continued. "We go through life, we get our hearts broken, what does that give us, what does that take away. This is a film that asks those questions."
Swift's fans have long suspected that the song "All Too Well" is about Jake Gyllenhaal, who the singer had briefly dated in 2010 when she was 20 years old.
Also on Friday, on Late Night With Seth Meyers, host Seth Meyers told Swift, who has often penned cryptic lyrics about her real-life romances, "I wonder if there are people who might think that they were the ones you were singing about, if it's easier or far, far worse for them, 10 years later."
She replied, "I haven't thought about their experience, to be honest."
Swift told E!'s Daily Pop that she "got a real buzz" re-recording the song "All Too Well" because its lyrics "had been written a long time ago."
And sadly for fans, the singer also said she does not have any more 10-minute versions of her other songs in the works.FTAY
"That is the only one that I have.," she said. "You have 100 percent of my 10-minute songs now."
泰勒·斯威夫特如何在短片《一切都好》中饰演迪伦·奥布莱恩和赛迪·辛克
泰勒·斯威夫特在她的“一切都很好”短片中只考虑了两个人：迪伦·奥布莱恩和赛迪·辛克。
在该项目中，“少年狼”明矾和“怪奇物语”女演员在动荡中扮演爱情兴趣。斯威夫特也亲自出演并导演了这部充满焦虑的短片，其中包括一首10分钟的同名曲目，该曲目出现在她2012年11月星期五发行的专辑“Red”的重新录制版本中. 12，在争夺流行歌星音乐控制权的斗争中。
“我得到了他们的号码并给他们发了短信，我已经创建了一个完整的处理和脚本，就像我想做的事情的视觉参考，”斯威夫特告诉 E!'s Daily Pop 关于选角 O'Brien 和 Sink . “我想让一切都准备好，比如，这是我的 DP，这是我们用于布景设计的人，这是我们用于编辑的人，这是我们所用的人，这是制作人。我想要他们了解所有信息，以便他们做出选择并将歌曲发送给他们。”
斯威夫特在周五在纽约举行的“All Too Well”首映式上继续说道，“他们在其他人拥有这首歌之前就拥有了这首歌，当他们说是的时候，我很高兴，因为我没有想到备份。”
当斯威夫特邀请奥布莱恩出演这个他称之为“旅行”的项目时，他毫不犹豫。
“我根本不知道 [Taylor] 知道我是谁，”他说。 “我长期以来一直是她的粉丝，我爱她，现在更爱了。她就像有史以来最好的人，她是如此的聪明。所以是的，这就像一个自动的肯定。我想我们有点像只是挂在电话上，她问了我一会儿，比如，你知道，我想思考多久或其他什么，如果我想拒绝也没关系，我想，哦，这甚至不是一个问题。 ”
斯威夫特告诉《每日流行》，“一切都很好”是一部“关于一个人生命中一个非常特定的时期的成年电影，当你在 19 到 20 岁之间时。”
“你有一只脚在童年，一只脚在成年，你不知道该站在哪里，不知道那一刻让你变得多么脆弱，”她继续说道。 “我们经历了生活，我们的心都碎了，这给了我们什么，带走了什么。这是一部提出这些问题的电影。”
斯威夫特的歌迷一直怀疑这首歌“All Too Well”是关于杰克·吉伦哈尔的，这位歌手在 2010 年 20 岁时曾与她短暂约会过。
同样在周五，在与赛斯迈耶斯的深夜节目中，主持人赛斯迈耶斯告诉斯威夫特，她经常为她的现实生活写下神秘的歌词，“我想知道是否有人可能认为他们就是你唱歌的人，如果这对他们来说更容易，或者更糟，那么 10 年后。”
她回答说：“老实说，我没有想过他们的经历。”
斯威夫特告诉 E! 的 Daily Pop，她重新录制歌曲“All Too Well”“引起了轰动”，因为它的歌词“很久以前就写好了”。
对于歌迷来说可悲的是，这位歌手还说她的作品中没有其他歌曲的 10 分钟版本。FTAY
“那是我唯一拥有的。”她说。 “你现在拥有我 10 分钟歌曲的 100%。”
