A biopic focusing on the life of Bob Dylan is to start shooting this summer.
I'm Not There will see no fewer than six different actors play Dylan at different stages of his career. Among those that have signed on the line are Richard Gere and Christian Bale. Not on board is one Colin Farrell, who has been booted off the project for no clear reason.
Farrell was spending time in rehab until December, so rumours abound that the star has slipped back into his old ways. He has been replaced by Heath Ledger, he of gay cowboy film fame.
I'm Not There will be directed by Todd Haynes, whose previous films include Velvet Goldmine (urgh) and Far From Heaven (never saw it, sorry).
So it'll be terrible, then.
richard
gere............richard. gere.
far from heaven was excellent
someone needs to make a reference to gerbils here but I can't think of a good one.
richard gere
is going to play dylan in his "creepy lech" period, then?
Richard Gere? Fackinell.
I quite liked Velvet Goldmine, actually
gere
has got to be playing 80s bubble perm era dylan...
ledger will probably get to play dylan as he goes electric. except he will insist on cutting the arms off his shirts, to ya kno, show that dylan had guns, just like his.
did i hear right that one of the 6 dylans is gonna be black?
None of them
Even vaguely resemble Dylan!
Well they're
oviously going for the old 'Stars in Their eyes' principle of what they sound like, not what they look like!!
