Synopsis
In 1961, an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar. He builds relationships with Greenwich Village musical icons during his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that reverberates around the world. According to an October 2020 Collider interview with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the recently released COVID precautions studios were taking would put the Bob Dylan film project on the back burner; as a result, Papamichael and director James Mangold would move on to other projects. “I don’t think he’s dead,” Papamichael said of the Chalamet-starring biopic, “But it’s hard to make in the COVID era because it’s all in small clubs with a lot of extras in period costumes, so you have a lot of hair and makeup. So our next project is ‘Indiana Jones 5’ (2022), actually. Mangold is handling that.”
