"We have regular meetings where I can ask her anything, and she speaks with her heart about all kinds of stuff,"
"It's a movie that will be not from a distance... This is from her perspective, her life, looking out."
"She's kept all of her costumes, all of her clothes, all of her instruments. She's even still the landlady of her famous house in Laurel Canyon. So this is a really personal, wonderful look at her life and music."
Clive Davis confirmed that Meryl Streep will play an older Joni Mitchell in Cameron Crowe's biopic during his pre‑Grammys party in Los Angeles. Anya Taylor‑Joy has been rumored to portray a younger Mitchell, but that casting remains unconfirmed. Cameron Crowe has been working on the film since at least 2023 and has collaborated closely with Mitchell for about four years. Crowe described regular meetings in which he asks Mitchell questions and said the film will be told from Mitchell's perspective. Crowe noted Mitchell has preserved costumes, clothes, and instruments and still serves as landlady of her Laurel Canyon home, making the project a personal look at her life and music. Casting beyond Streep remains in development.
