James Mangold-Directed Biopic Casts Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan!!

Timothée Chalamet is reportedly set to play Bob Dylan in a new biopic about the ’60s folk/rock icon’s life. This news may come as a surprise to many of us considering we never really pegged Chalamet for the musical sort (will he take on Dylan’s nasally tenor to croon classic hits like “Blowin’ in the Wind”?) but this could — hear me out — actually work. Deadline first … Continue reading James Mangold-Directed Biopic Casts Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan!!
