The Trailer for “I’m Not There” is finally out, and worth viewing. I first caught a glimse of Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan a couple of months ago when I viewed a scene of Dylan with Alan Ginsberg, who is played by David Cross, from HBO’s Mr. Show and Arrested Development. Ok, Blanchett as Dylan, I get it. Great marketing.
But Cross is as Ginsberg is what caught my eye. I love his comedy and was a big fan of Arrested Development. I have to say he actually seems to pull it off, and keeps is weird too.
Check out Blancett as Dylan and Cross as Ginsberg.
Blanchett is only one of 6 actors portraying Dylan. Others include Christian Bale, Heath Ledger, Richard Gere, Ben Whishaw, and Marcus Carl Franklin. The question is can director Todd Haynes build a coherent storyline, or is the movie destined to dissolve into a self-important biopic that only appeals to burnt out intellectuals who still get off on the “he is everyone, he is know one” Dylan mysticism? We’ll find out when the movie is released no November 21.
For now, check out the trailer, man.
