The Giver Movie Spoilers, Release Dates, Teasers [Taylor Swift’s Character in the Film Will Commit Suicide?!], Cast News, And More!

Showing in cinemas beginning August 15, 2014, The Giver tells the story of a young man living in a perfect world where everyone has an assigned role. For his life assignment, the young man, Jonas, is selected to be the Receiver of Memory, the person who is responsible for storing and managing all the memories before the time of 'Sameness.' As he receives the memory from the Giver, who was the previous receiver, he begins to have doubts as to whether their current life of perfect Sameness is really worth the sacrifice of all those things which make us human.

Directed by Philip Noyce from a screenplay written by Michael Mitnick based on Lois Lowry's award-winning young-adult sci-fi novel of the same name, the film stars Jeff Bridges as the Giver, Meryl Streep as the Chief Elder, Brenton Thwaites as Jonas, Alexander Skarsgard as Jonas' father, Katie Holmes as Jonas' mother, Odeya Rush as Jonas' love interest Fiona, Cameron Monaghan as Jonas' best friend Asherand, and Taylor Swift as the Giver's daughter Rosemary.

Shooting for The Giver started in October 2013 and wrapped up on February 13, 2014. The score for the film was composed by Marco Beltrami and the musical soundtrack will feature OneRepublic's song "Ordinary Human."

During the Comic-Con in San Diego, newcomer Thwaites who plays the main protagonist in the film was asked how it was working with such acting heavyweights as Meryl Streep and Jeff Bridges. He said, "When you meet such famous actors that you're been watching since you were...since I was like five years old...you get this kind of image in your head of what they'll be like, and the reality of how they really are always surprises you. I guess with Jeff and Meryl, they just surprise me on how cool they are, and how it's the same for all of us, you know?"
