Hathaway Mistook Swift Video for Film Promo
2 Oct
Summary
- Anne Hathaway thought Taylor Swift's video was tied to her film 'Verity.'
- Dakota Johnson starred in Swift's 'Patient Zero' short film.
- Swift's video shares thematic similarities with the film 'Verity.'
Anne Hathaway recently shared her initial confusion regarding Taylor Swift's "Patient Zero" short film. Mistaking it for a publicity stunt for her own film, "Verity," Hathaway believed the two projects were connected. This was primarily due to Dakota Johnson's leading role in both.
Johnson, who stars in "Verity," also appeared in Swift's "Patient Zero" short film, which was released prior to "Verity." Hathaway, a producer on "Verity," admitted to inquiring if there was a connection, only to discover the timing was coincidental.
Swift's "Patient Zero" short film depicts a woman being poisoned by her abusive husband, mirroring themes of gaslighting and mistreatment. Swift revealed the concept was inspired by a friend's experience with a manipulative ex-boyfriend.
The "Patient Zero" video, which features Johnson and Colin Farrell, explores the dark origins of the song's narrative, adding another layer to its artistic presentation. Hathaway expressed admiration for Swift's directorial work on the short film.
