![]() The director reportedly told Chalamet that “the truly incredible thing about Dylan was not so much the quality, which was obvious, but the quantity-the rapid amount of work in short succession, one groundbreaking album after another, in those early years.” The actor added, “He almost seemed weary of even talking about this stuff, it was so big and potent.” ![]() The two went out for dinner together while Chalamet was shooting Wes Anderson’s The French Dispatch alongside Coen’s wife, Francis McDormand, and chewed the fat about Dylan over a steak. The actor reportedly “ran from site to site, with notes he’d kept while reading Dylan’s memoir, Chronicles: Volume One, barreling up stairs and peering into windows.”īefore accepting the role, he sounded out the opinion of a true Dylan connoisseur in Joel Coen, who made sure that Chalamet understood the gravitas of playing such an icon. Chalamet spent his time in the summer going from Greenwich Village to Woodstock and fully immersing himself in the world Dylan lived in during this period. Going Electric was to look at the period in the mid-1960s were Dylan made the radical decision to put down the acoustic guitar and make that bold move to go electric. The pandemic gave Chalamet a pass to explore Greenwich Village while wearing a face mask, which meant despite being one of the most famous actors on the planet, he had a rare stint of anonymity. The interview with Chalamet states that the actor quoted the singer often, noting he clearly had a fixation on the art and the persona. Coincidentally, it turned out that the house was covered in Dylan memorabilia who, of course, lived in the area but sadly never had the opportunity to perform at the iconic festival in 1969.īob Dylan’s life story naturally attracts filmmakers. The New York native revealed to GQ that he rented out an Airbnb property in Woodstock to get a feel for the artist. In the summer of 2020, Dylan was at the forefront of Chalamet’s mind, and with the pandemic putting the film industry to a halt, the period of flux allowed him the time to fully understand Dylan. “I don’t think it’s dead, but it’s a tough one to pull off in a Covid-era because it’s all in small clubs with lots of extras in period costumes so you’ve got lots of hair and makeup,” he added. “We were going to do Bob Dylan with Mangold that didn’t happen, with Timothée Chalamet, about going electric in the ’60s,” director of photography Phedon Papamichael confirmed to Collider last October. ![]() While the project has since been put on hold indefinitely due to covid, Chalamet poured months of work into ensuring he was fit to do Dylan and his story justice. She’s promoting a Banksy exhibit in Los Angeles in her Stories.Last year, it was revealed James Mangold was working on another biopic based on Dylan’s life and, with anticipation growing, the production even lined up Timothee Chalamet to portray the singer. And Madonna is at least using the attention this has drawn for a good cause. ![]() And they do both look amazing, which I think is what you’re supposed to notice. The Daily Mail said Madonna “upstaged” her daughter, but who knows how everyone feels about everything! It could all be above board, permissions were asked and granted, it all seemed like a fun idea, etc. They have to give it a little raison d’être that is ever so slightly more altruistic, ever so slightly less about them. She hashtagged it “my better half,” which is very sweet, if not a little like when your friend looks amazing in a photo but can’t just post the thing for the intended reason (i.e., look at me looking amazing). She photoshopped herself into an image from the shoot after the fact, gave it a background and a different filter, and posted it on her Instagram. And Madonna, queen of the ’90s, was there, too. Her makeup is ’90s, her hair is ’90s, and her outfit is pretty ’90s as well. Lourdes “Lola” Leon starred in a shoot for Paper magazine’s January issue.
