Long-time record producer Clive Davis has finally confirmed Academy Award winner Meryl Streep<\/a>\u2018s involvement in director Cameron Crowe<\/a>\u2018s next biographical movie. This comes ahead of Streep\u2019s long-awaited return as the iconic Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada 2, which just just released its first trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Who is Meryl Streep playing in Cameron Crowe\u2019s next movie?<\/p>\n

Per Rolling Stone, during Davis\u2019 annual pre-Grammy party, the record executive revealed that Streep will indeed be playing the legendary singer Joni Mitchell<\/a> in Crowe\u2019s untitled biopic about Mitchell\u2019s life and career. Rumors about her casting were first revealed last August 2025, with Golden Globe winner Anya Taylor-Joy also reportedly set to play the younger version of the acclaimed singer.<\/p>\n

Crowe has been developing the biopic with Mitchell for nearly five years now. During a previous appearance on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, the acclaimed filmmaker described the project as a \u201creally personal\u201d look at her life music.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve been working on it for about four years. We have regular meetings where I can ask her anything, and she speaks with her heart about all kinds of stuff. It\u2019s a movie that will be not be from a distance . . . This is from her perspective, her life, looking out,\u201d Crowe shared. \u201cShe\u2019s kept all of her costumes, all of her clothes, all of her instruments. She\u2019s even still the landlady of her famous house in Laurel Canyon. So this is a really personal, wonderful look at her life and music.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mitchell is considered one of the most influential singer-songwriters of her generation. She\u2019s best known for many iconic hit songs such as \u201cBoth Sides, Now\u201d, \u201cBig Yellow Taxi\u201d, and \u201cBlue\u201d. Yesterday, the 82-year-old legendary musician won her eleventh Grammy Award for Best Historical Album. Before that, the Grammys honored her with the Lifetime Achievement Award in 2002. <\/p>\n
