Is anyone else really excited about the new (quasi)Bob Dylan biopic, "I'm Not There"? It's not that I'm Dylan's biggest fan, but I've been anticipating the opening of this movie since the beginning of summer (it should roll into at least one of ATL's "art" cinemas in mid-Nov). What got me hooked was watching a teaser from the film with Cate Blanchett as Dylan meeting Allen Ginsberg (David Cross). Blanchett is incredibly believable ... eerily so (and she was just Queen Elizabeth last week- incredibly convincing as the virgin queen, even with that horrid script).
A few weeks ago Robert Sullivan wrote a great piece on the movie and director (Todd Haynes) for the New York Times Magazine. I really liked the photograph with the six Dylans pictured with the article and thought "Hey, wouldn't that look really great on that big wall by my bed?" It really isn't a bit creepy having the fake Dylans stare down at you at night... they are much too insouciant for that. Just look at that smugness.
Now for you real music fans (not just the ones that use promo photos as room decor), to get info on the much-hyped "I'm Not There" soundtrack visit The Playlist (excellent blog) for the inside scoop.

That NYT article was OBSESSIVE!
Same here, i'm so dying for this film as well, and Cate Blachett as one of the actors playing Dylan is definetely the biggest reason of my anticipation.
Blanchett*
Wendyb- quite right. That article was a bit obsessive, but it made me even more excited for the movie.
Romeika- glad you're looking forward to the movie too! Let us know what you think when you see it.
