Francois Audouy serves as the production designer on the film and has worked closely with Mangold in the past on movies like Loganand Ford v. Writing the film alongside Mangold is Jay Cocks, whose credits include the screenplay for Martin Scorsese's Gangs of New York. Mangold is also listed as a producer on the film, alongside some other well-known names, like Fred Berger ( La La Land), and Bob Dylan himself. Like Walk the Line, Mangold's projects have a habit of being Oscar-worthy, as he's also directed Girl, Interrupted, 3:10 to Yuma, Logan, and Ford v, Ferrari, all of which were nominated or won their own Oscars. The film led to Reese Witherspoon winning an Academy Award for her portrayal of Cash's wife, June. He wrote and directed the 2005 film, Walk The Line, centered around the life of Johnny Cash. While Rotolo went on to marry someone else, her relationship with the folk musician is forever cemented in the cover of his hit album The Freewheelin' Bob Dylan.Īs previously mentioned, the film is being directed by the masterful James Mangold, who is no stranger to directing music-centered projects. If Fanning's Sylvie Russo is really paying homage to Suze Rotolo, we can expect some love and loss, as she dated Dylan from 1961 to 1964, right before his big break. Including Fanning and Barbaro's characters in the movie suggests several possible love interest plot lines for the film. They even once collaborated on a song, "Girl From the North Country," a classic that continues to find new life and audiences today and was featured in the Oscar-winning Silver Linings Playbook.
The presence of Holbrook as Johnny Cash is another great character in the life of Bob Dylan, as the two met in 1964 and continued their correspondence for decades afterward. Cumberbatch's role as Pete Seeger points to a possible storyline that explores Seeger's friendship with Dylan, or possibly Seeger's alleged disapproval of Dylan's electric set at the folk festival. The other known characters in the film hint at other possible plot scenarios. Chalamet says he will do his own singing in the film, which he will also take on in the upcoming Wonka. It is reported that the film will center around Bob Dylan's big break into the music industry as a folk artist who took the risk of playing electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.
