In a planned biopic of Bob Dylan the legendary singer will be played by a woman! Word is the new film will tell Dylan's story in seven sections - in each section a different actor will portray Dylan. An unidentified woman will portray the singer-songwriter at the height of his popularity in the mid-1960s. Apparently a 11 year old black boy will appear in one of the early segments.
The film's director Todd Haynes told reporters: "Bob Dylan is somebody who has continued to reject all of the various personas that he has embodied over the years. He continues to move forward by discarding himself, so my idea is to put together a film of multiple characters and tell their stories simultaneously."
No word yet on exact cast or schedule.
