And because of that, Papamichael and director James Mangold are moving on to other projects

At the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, a young Bob Dylan revolutionizes the folk music scene by going electric and spawning rock as the voice of a generation, defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. According to an October 2020 Collider interview with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the Bob Dylan film project was set to be put on the backburner due to newly released COVID precautions being taken by studios. “I don’t think it’s dead,” Papamichael said of the Chalamet-starring biopic, “but it’s hard to pull off in a COVID era because it’s all in small clubs with a lot of extras in period costume, so you’ve got a lot of hair and makeup.

So our next project is Indiana Jones 5 (2022), actually

Mangold is doing that.” I really hope it’s filled with style imagery, as a Bob Dylan fan and a Tim fan to some extent I want a solid story about his rise to fame, like Walk the Line. I do NOT want a montage of Timmy riding his bike through open roads and rural landscapes eating up an hour of this movie. Bob is a true genius in my opinion and has been fearless in his career and his poetry.

I want Bob!

If it’s going to be a platform to primp Timmy or an amazing love story it’s going to be just another forgotten movie that most serious viewers will turn off after 20-30 minutes. Not a glamorous holiday piece to rip off a few bucks. As you can tell I’m looking forward to seeing it but I’m skeptical about this day and age with movies about topics and people we all love.

I’d love to see what Bob himself has to say about it

I saw him play two years ago in Charleston SC and it was amazing and he still does it the way he wants to do it. The new material and songs he played that were mainstream he did in a freestyle and very different than his original release. Uncompromising is the word and for this movie to use Dylan as a portal to make money would be compromising Dylan’s legacy in my opinion.
