First Clip From Bob Dylan Biopic Hits the Web
The first clip from the highly anticipated Todd Haynes-directed Bob Dylan biopic I’m Not There has surfaced on YouTube. The black-and-white footage depicts the first meeting between a young Dylan (portrayed here by actress Cate Blanchett) and beat poet Allen Ginsberg (played by comedian David Cross). As we reported last fall, Blanchett is just one of six actors who will channel their inner Bob Dylans to tell the singer/songwriter’s story — Richard Gere, Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Marcus Carl Franklin and Ben Whishaw will also play the role. In the leaked scene, Blanchett’s Dylan-esque hair, sunglasses and gruff voice help make her convincing, but there’s no hiding those feminine cheekbones. I’m Not There is slated to hit theaters September 21.
