Meryl Streep and Anya Taylor-Joy Linked to Joni Mitchell Biopic
A major buzz is building in Hollywood right now, and it’s all about Joni Mitchell. Director Cameron Crowe has confirmed that a biographical film about the legendary Canadian singer-songwriter is officially in the works, and while the details are still being kept close to the chest, two big names are already swirling around the casting rumors: Meryl Streep and Anya Taylor-Joy.
Though nothing has been formally announced, the suggestion is that Taylor-Joy may play Mitchell during her younger years, particularly at the height of her career, while Streep could step into the role of Mitchell later in life. Streep, of course, is no stranger to embodying complex, iconic women on screen, and her rumored involvement has immediately heightened anticipation. Interestingly, she even appeared alongside Mitchell on stage last year, singing Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing” during a Los Angeles concert. Taylor-Joy, on the other hand, has been building a reputation for her transformative performances and would bring a sharp edge to portraying Mitchell’s rise to prominence.
Cameron Crowe, who is both writing and directing the project, has described the process of preparing for the film as deeply personal. He has been spending extensive time with Mitchell herself, conducting long interviews and conversations that he calls “the deepest-tissue kind” he’s ever had with any artist. For him, this isn’t just a movie — it’s a chance to tell Mitchell’s story in her own voice. Crowe even said that a Joni Mitchell film should feel like one of her albums: intimate, layered, and emotionally honest.

The Mitchell biopic also feels like the culmination of a lifelong connection. Crowe first interviewed her in 1979 while working at Rolling Stone , and the two have remained close friends ever since. Over the last three years, they’ve been working together on shaping this script, aiming to avoid the typical “rise and fall” pattern that so many music biopics fall into. Instead, the vision is for something more fluid, authentic, and reflective of Mitchell’s own artistry.
So while the final cast is still under wraps, the mere possibility of seeing Meryl Streep and Anya Taylor-Joy sharing the role of Joni Mitchell has already set expectations sky-high. With Crowe’s personal connection to the artist and Mitchell herself involved in shaping the story, this film is being looked at not just as another biopic, but as a cinematic tribute to one of the most influential voices in music history.
