“Whatever it is, I know Timothée Chalamet is on another interesting mission,” said one user on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“Hollywood hates its audience. Give real actors a chance. Watching Chalamet perform is like nails on a blackboard. Shame,” said another user.
“That’s not Bob Dylan, Dominic Sessa should have been cast,” another user added.
“I was able to see this on a morning walk through the East Village. I could do a better Bob Dylan impression. Do it better,” said another user.
Director calls Bob Dylan biopic ‘interesting moment’
The film’s director James Mangold confirmed that Chalamet will sing in the film. It will be his second musical score since his role as Willy Wonka. But Mangold says the film will focus on much more than Bob Dylan’s music. You will take a deep dive into their path from rags to riches.
“It’s an incredible time in American culture and Bob’s story: a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan who arrives in New York with two dollars in his pocket and becomes a global sensation in three years. First, being taken in by a folk music family in New York and, of course, leaving him behind at a certain point when his star rises beyond belief.” mangold said.
“It’s a very interesting true story and about such an interesting time on the American scene.”

“It was a total gem. While he was in town researching all things Bob Dylan for an upcoming biopic, he asked his tour guide if he could meet the theater students who were working on competing him in one act.
