- Ellen Page, Inception, 2009. After Evan Rachel Wood turned him down, UK director Christopher Nolan considered Swift, Emily Blunt, Carey Mulligan, Emma Roberts and Jessy Schram before settling upon a fifth Oscar nominee for his thriller in... the architecture of the mind.
- Julianne Hough, Rock of Ages, 2011. Swift was an early idea for Sherrie . The Utah blonde was better - and, doubtless, cheaper. It was her third movie after Burlesque and Footloose. But all eyes were on Tom Cruise’s staggering rock star Stacee Jaxx - aka Jim Morrison meets Axel Rose, Alec Baldwin called it a horrible movie. “I only did it to work with Tom.” Well, the audition worked. They stayed together for Mission: Impossible - Rogue Nation, 2014.
- Samantha Barks, Les Misérables, 2012. Many were called - Taylor, the Pennsylvania singer, Lucy Hale, Scarlett Johansson, Lea Michele, Hayden Panettiere, Emma Watson (also up for Cosette), Evan Rachel Wood - before producer Cameron Mackintosh went on the Manchester stage of her Oliver! Gig to announce Samantha had won the role of Eponine. “Most incredible moment of my life!!!!”
