It's official! Timmy will be playing Bob Dylan in Going Electric. So exciting!!!
Since Dylan is an executive producer, I'm sure he'll help coach, guide, and inspire Timmy in protraying him accurately, just like how Elton John guided Taron for Rocketman.

Just saw this news. My God, Timothee even looks like a young Bob Dylan!!!
I have enjoyed recently two other musical bios Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman so I cannot wait to see this film to learn more about Mr. Dylan. Timothee always said he wants to work with great directors and here he will be working with another legendary one James Mangold. And let's just say right now that if Timothee does an awesome job as expected, I do predict awards nominations as Hollywood loves bio films about musicians. Just see Taron Egertons well deserved win at the Golden Globes last night.
I am curious as to Timothees schedule though? Will he shoot this film in the summer of 2020 after the play? And if Dune is a success then does part II shoot in 2021? I think what I am asking is whether with these projects his filming schedule is probably filled up through mid 2021 which is crazy to think about! Let's not rush life of course haha!

I'm glad you share my same excitement Chalametthegreat! And yes, I even mentioned months ago when it was first speculated that he could play Bob Dylan, that he looked like a baby Boy Dylan. They have the same hair and bright eyes.
filming will most likely start after he finishes his play in London, and wrap up well before the exhaustive promotional tour for Dune begins.
This year is going to be super spectacular for Timmy. I'm so proud of him!

If you're not familiar with Bob Dylan, on Netflix, you can find Rolling Thunder Revue, by Martin Scorsese, now! Can you imagine Timmy taking this similar photo? ![](http://www.gstatic.com/tv/thumb/v22vodart/16858842/p16858842_v_v8_ac.jpg)

I was shocked when I saw this not long ago. I am not a Dylan fan but I guess I need to look more into his music now, LOL! I love that Dylan will be involved, so this is all with his blessing. I would imagine he had a huge say in who would be playing him. But it is great to know Dylan will be a mentor to Timothee on this, helping him out, giving him guidance, etc. (it does remind me of Elton and Taron except Elton is much more outgoing than Dylan is, so not sure how much we will actually see Dylan during the promo tour). I am super excited for this and for Timothee's career. I'll have to watch the above on Netflix now, as I am not very familiar with Dylan - just wasn't into his music/voice previously. Definitely more interested now!!! And Timothee playing electric guitar too. I am curious if he will be singing or not, although I am not sure how I would describe Dylan's voice - it is not a typical voice.
They do mention he would shoot it after 4000 Miles wraps up May 23rd. So I imagine his summer/early fall is booked up now! Than he'll be busy with Dune promo.
Oh and remember there was huge speculation he would be in Luca's movie, about one of Dylan's albums (not a bio pic). So I thought maybe that was happening, but than we hear about this news today!!

A little more info. The fact that Dylan is involved, that makes its credibility go up considerably. That he wants this to be made and is going to be involved, so great to hear. And exciting to hear in the future who the rest of the cast is. “It starts at 19 when he arrives in New York City,” a source familiar with the film tells Rolling Stone. “And also heavily involves the rest of the rest of the folk scene at the time.” Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, the then-hospitalized Woody Guthrie and other key figures of the scene will all be characters in the movie, according to the source. Bob Dylan’s camp has given its blessing to the project and is actively involved, the source confirms. www.rollingstone.com/movies/movie-news/timothee-chalamet-bob-dylan-biopic-934265/

I wonder what the budget will be. Perhaps if it's under $22 million, it'll qualify as an Indie... Timmy could have both hands in the cookie jar for Oscar and Spirit Awards.

Great to start a day with this news. I love biopics, so happy for Timmy to play the iconic Bob Dylan. I'm not too familiar with Dylan's art, but here is the chance to get involved in his music.

This sounds really intriguing.I can't wait to see Chalamet as Bob Dylan.I guess I'd better check out Ford Vs Ferrari too,I've been avoiding it tbh.

Ford v Ferrari is brilliant, but I'm a Christian Bale fan so, that was my lure. The film's connection to my home state of Michigan (Ford Motor Co.) was a lure too. ![;)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/wink.png)

I know it's a bit early to speculate, but where do you think this movie will be filmed?

Maybe New York City? Those were his formative years starting in 1960. I found this per Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bob_DylanAdditionally, it seems the the title of the new movie came from a Wikipedia section:

Thanks for the info, Simone. ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) It'd definitely be convenient for him if they filmed it in NYC. I have a web site saved that gives filming locations and dates for shows and movies. If I found out he's filming in NYC (and if I lived there lol) I'd definitely try to go. lol

At this point in Timmy's career, and this particular project, might be very tight and high security. I worked as an extra on a film once and it was top secret, not listed on those websites, and they even used a silly obscure title to throw off looky loos. Security was crazy. It was a fun experience though.
I wonder if Lily-Rose will have a part in Going Electric. Bob had a lot of lady friends/wives.
