The Dylan Biopic

I’m probably the last one to know this, but here it is anyway.

The movie about Bob Dylan called I’m Not There.

Now, I’m not a huge Bob Dylan fan musically, but I think a film based on his life is overdue.

And the casting is, I think, inspired.  Dylan is being played by ….Cate Blanchett???

Here’s a "leaked" sneak peak.  She’s not bad.

Oh, that’s David Cross as Allen Ginsberg, by the way.

UPDATE:  O.K.  Let’s be clear about this.  Several actors are playing Bob Dylan, each one representing "a different aspect of the musician’s life and work", according to the Internet Movie Database.  Cate is only one of those actors.  The others include Richard Gere and Heath Ledger.
