James Mangold, the acclaimed director, has announced during a recent Star Wars press event that Timothée Chalamet will be taking on the role of legendary musician Bob Dylan in the upcoming biographical film “Going Electric.” The movie will focus on Dylan’s early years in New York City, with filming set to begin in August.
The talented ensemble cast will also feature portrayals of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Joan Baez. Fans of both Chalamet and Dylan are thrilled with the casting news, especially since Mangold has confirmed that the “Dune” and “Call Me By Your Name” star will be singing some of Dylan’s iconic songs in the film.
