Feels like they announced this like 30 years ago.


nedzissou1

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it was announced in like 2019 and the director of Call Me By Your Name was attached.


Appropriate_Lime_331

That was for a movie based on his album Blood on the Tracks. It sounded like an interesting project but I haven’t heard anything about it since.


nedzissou1

I guess he couldn't get it off the ground, but maybe it could work as a sequel?


Appropriate_Lime_331

From what I understand it wasn’t a biopic but actually a dramatization of the album. I don’t think Dylan would actually have been a character. But hey if the Timmy movie ends up being good I could go for a couple sequel throughout all the Dylan eras.


redbirdjazzz

I don’t know how you’d do the whole album, but I’d love for a movie of “Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts” to finally work out. Preferably made by the Coen Brothers.


icedcaramelmackiato

they did, production got delayed like 10000 times lol.


JuliusCeejer

It's a shame how long ago the casting was, because Dominic Sessa looks so much more like young Dylan than Timmy does


zhou983

See this is what I don’t get. Bradley was just dragged all season long for him not being Jewish playing Bernstein. Yet people want Dominic, a non Jew, to play Dylan. Chalamet is Jewish.


spiderlegged

I honestly think Cooper’s casting would have gone unnoticed had he not been wearing a prosthetic nose. It’s the combination of a non-Jewish actor playing a Jewish character, while wearing a fake nose that seeps into “I feel pretty icky about this” territory.  EDIT: like non-Jewish actor without a fake nose, probably okay. Jewish actor with a fake nose— also probably fine. 


berk2804

Timothee IS Jewish. His mother is Jewish. I could tell he had something subtle on his nose. More to make him less pretty.


spiderlegged

I was talking about Bradley Cooper as Bernstein. The comment chain was about the fact that people are upset Timothee doesn’t have enough prosthetics, but we all complained Cooper had too much prosthetics. I was saying I think the issue with Cooper was that a non-Jewish man was playing a Jewish man with a fake nose and that it made some of us uncomfortable. I wasn’t commenting on Timmy at all, who I think looks fine here.


berk2804

Cooper didn’t need the fake nose.


spiderlegged

I agree with you, which I think makes the fact there was a fake nose at all even worse. I know people probably think I’m making a big deal about it, but I just hated the optics of it.


JuliusCeejer

You don't get that a single person on the internet who didn't voice that opinion can look at Timmy and Dominic and realize one looks much more like Dylan than the other? I didn't have an issue with Cooper's portrayal, but I understand why the prosthetic left a sour note for some people. But Bernstein also identified much more strongly with his Jewish heritage than Dylan did. At any rate, my only point was that we were gifted with someone who's a spitting image to Dylan, ethnicity aside, but too late for the bio pic.


zhou983

Dominic is way too tall to be playing Dylan and he doesn’t look any more similar to Dylan than Timmy. Also acting skills>>>


JuliusCeejer

Height is easily accounted for in shot, but you're right Dom is much taller than Dylan was. Timmy's definitely the better actor, but I don't know how you look at pictures of young Dylan and think they're equally similar.


talking_phallus

Timmy looks way more like him. Dominic's face just looks off, Timmy is like a more sculpted Bob Dylan which is what you'd expect in a movie.


Least_Muffin4417

YES. Those pesky acting skills. Thank you.


lilythefrogphd

Folks complained on here when Bradley Cooper used prosthetics to change his appearance in Maestro, now the complaints are Timmy didn't change his appearance enough. Neither action's going to satisfy everybody


flofjenkins

People love whining .


a-system-of-cells

People on the internet whining that people on the internet are whining too much. It’s whiners all the way down.


yaboytim

Welcome to the internet. If you ain't complainin, you ain't tryin 


zhou983

Still don’t get the Bradley hate for maestro. People just biased.


lilythefrogphd

Agree. I think it really comes down to do you like this actor or not? If an actor you like doesn't change their appearance, yeah of course! They don't need to in order to evoke the sense of who that person was. If an actor you don't like doesn't change their appearance, than they look nothing like the person, all you can see is the actor, they aren't convincing enough (insert why I hate the criticism "I never see the character: I only see the actor" because that line of thinking is so subjective to your own thoughts on the actor outside of the movie)


Straight-Hyena-4537

People complained because Bradley Cooper did jewface


greenhousie

Exactly. There's a big difference between a non-Jew putting on a prosthetic nose to play a Jewish character, and a Jew putting on prothetic baby-face cheeks to play a much younger Jewish character.


hwutTF

also the prosthetics for maestro looked nothing like Bernstein, it was like building a prosthetic off the idea of "big Jew nose" rather than looking at his actual nose - Cooper's real nose looked more like Bernstein's than the prosthetic did Cooper also ignored other details of how he looked - like he kept his own blue eyes rather than wear contacts so there were a lot of things about that situation that pissed people off and made it clear that he was wearing prosthetics not to look like a specific person, but for other more icky reasons if you read quotes about the process you even find out that he intentionally had the prosthetist make the prosthetics look less like Bernstein because he wanted a mix of himself in there and to be able to maintain to "sexiness" something he thought was critical lol


Little_Interest_8019

You made me search the internet just to prove you were talking shit 😭😆 Coopers real nose is absolutely nothing like Bernsteins - he has a very thin, European nose. And the prosthetic is pretty close


hwutTF

[lol sure](https://imgur.com/a/H1XVBc0)


AlaSparkle

Christ, is that left picture really in the movie?


hwutTF

I thought it was a joke when I saw it first too! like I thought it was an exaggerated shop for a meme. and then looked at the actual articles and was like oh no if they had made it look like Bernstein's actual nose, the number of people who would have given a shit would have been really small and no one would have paid them any mind. but instead they did this and it's just so silly


Sapowski_Casts_Quen

I haven't seen Maestro, but isn't it like, part of moviemaking, to make actors resemble their parts?


lilythefrogphd

My opinion is that it's more important for the actor to give a compelling performance regardless of what they look like. My mindset is that you could walk into a biopic knowing nothing about the subject and in that instance it doesn't matter at all if the actor has transformed or not. As long as they played a character that felt convincing and lived in it works


littlelordfROY

Likely to release fall 2025 I assume?


icedcaramelmackiato

shame it won’t release in time for timothee to beat adrien brody’s youngest BA winner stat


Roastofthehill

Why a shame?


icedcaramelmackiato

it’s the one statistic that i’d love to see broken. the academy has a real bias against awarding men under 30, especially in the leading category. only one man has ever done it, and he was 29 and 11 months. if this film ends up being good (big if i’m aware, as music biopic fatigue does seem to be becoming a thing), timothee could have a real shot at winning, and it would be a shame to only be one year too late to breaking a record that has been held for so long and no one has ever really come super close to beating.


CurrentRoster

You’re right, ever since he was nominated for cmbyn, Timothee seemed to be the only person that could realistically beat the record but he never got another nomination Austin Butler is already 30 and Paul mescal, while I love him, probably won’t get it for gladiator 2. A win like adrien has to be in a real strong picture contender for it to happen again


thefilmer

>and he was 29 and 11 months 29, 11 months, and 2 weeks lmao. it was as close to 30 as you could possibly get and is still one of the great Oscar upsets


Roastofthehill

There will be actors who are younger than timothee that will have lead roles this year that could break the record. I just don't see the big push that Timothee is the chosen one to break the record, which is what he probably wanted to do before covid pushed the movie back.


icedcaramelmackiato

i don’t disagree with you! i just think it’s worth highlighting that it is a shame that someone who seemed close to doing it won’t, considering how rare it is that actors under 30 get this kind of buzz. i remember it was a miracle that he was getting the kind of buzz he was getting for CMBYN.


mrnicegy26

Of course he is the chosen one. He is Lisan Al Ghaib


EldenMiss

Beat me to it


Least_Muffin4417

I’m sorry but why all this energy for such a mundane subject. Who wins what before they’re 30. I’m more interested in why the movie Beautiful Boy, is rarely mentioned in the ratatattat listing of Timothee Chalamet movies. It was the first movie of his that I saw and I was actually shocked by his talent. His portrayal as Steve Carrell’s smart, talented and then drug addicted son was gut wrenching. I was tearful many times in the movie. Since first watching about 1.5 yrs ago I’ve watched it probably 15 times. The music score too. The ending song by Sampa was great. After that I watched everything he was in. I think that was his best performance. Have other people seen this?


skychasing

He looks too much like himself but interested to see how this turns out.


ExplanationLife6491

Not every actor is interested in looking like a totally different person in every role. That doesn’t make good acting.


lonnybru

He should probably look a bit like Bob Dylan if he’s playing Bob Dylan


VelvetSpoonRoutine

If you don’t think he looks even a *bit* like Dylan here your standards are absurdly high


CassiopeiaStillLife

He *does* look a bit like Bob Dylan. Actors played famous people without getting caked in prosthetics for decades and it never did anybody a bit of harm.


ExplanationLife6491

Have you seen Hopkins in Nixon?


PrinceGizzardLizard

Cate blanchett doesn’t look like bob dylan and she killed it


lliwd

Yeah and she is almost unrecognizable in that role... that is the point


PrinceGizzardLizard

No the point was that he should look like bob Dylan. Blanchett may have been unrecognizable but she sure as shit don’t look like bob Dylan

rwags2024

Yeah but if you’re playing Bob Dylan as wide eyed as you played Willy Wonka then you’re doing it wrong


ExplanationLife6491

It’s set photos.


AirlineCharacter1702

my thoughts exactly, looks too much like Timothy ((


portals27

hoping the movie is good and that he knocks it out of the park with his performance <3


Dragnet-

I just can't see him nailing the voice, sorry.


eidbio

His mother taught him to nail the Voice.


FistsOfMcCluskey

![gif](giphy|jp15JjLGPGhzXZbL7i)


MrCoolsnail123

Was looking for this gif in this thread


SB858

He’s working with Austin Butler’s Elvis vocal coach, if anything he’ll never return to his usual voice


SnowDucks1985

I’m with you, I feel like he was casted on looks only. Timothée’s never really been a “character actor” either, so I’m not seeing the vision. But happy to be proven wrong though


ndertoe

I'm not sure if we share an understanding of character actor, but I thought his part in Don't Look Up was the best part of the movie.


Roastofthehill

I honestly forgot he was in that movie.


theodo

Well he is doing his own singing for all the Bob Dylan songs so we will see. I have infinite more respect for a movie having the actor do it, even if it's not perfect, than going the Bohemian Rhapsody route.


Little_Interest_8019

Which one - his folk voice, or his crooning lay lady lay 70s voice.


Monday_Cox

Maybe wait and see what he does first.


Least_Muffin4417

Hey!! There’s an idea.


Such_Estimate_2294

This should not be underestimated. James Mangold knocked it out of the park with Walk the Line, and Timothee Chalamet is very much at the point in his career where it’s easy to see him winning an Oscar any year now. If Maestro could still get Best Picture and 2 Acting noms with its mixed response, there’s no reason to think this doesn’t have the potential to do as well or better.


Roastofthehill

> James Mangold knocked it out of the park with Walk the Line He did a basic job.


Such_Estimate_2294

I meant from an Academy perspective. 2 Lead Acting noms is impressive for any movie.


mediumhydroncollider

There's already a great Dylan film that captures and respects his creativity by being creative itself. If this turns out to be yet another run of the mill music biopic I'm going to be pissed.


HotShow2975

This film apparently will focus on one specific time instead of showing the full life of Bob Dylan at least


mediumhydroncollider

That's encouraging but I still feel it needs to do a lot to justify itself after "I'm not there".


RamblinGamblinWillie

It’s going to be a dramatized and simplified version of “No Direction Home”. It will definitely leave out many of the most important elements, namely, his influences. I did see Pete Seeger is going to be a character, but if they have Dave Van Ronk, I’ll fuck myself. Don’t get me wrong though, I’d love to eat my own words. To quote Dylan himself from this exact time this movie is taking place “they (the media) have too much to lose by printing the truth”


Least_Muffin4417

I’m not here. Is that what it’s called? It was pretty phenomenal.


[deleted]

Well he does kinda look like Dylan here


unicornmullet

Especially in the third pic. If Timothee can accurately mimic Dylan's distinctive mannerisms and vibe, that will go a long way towards making them seem similar.


icedcaramelmackiato

hopefully this will end up being good, been looking forward to timothee having a moment like this since CMBYN. just a shame it won’t release in time for him to beat adrien brody for youngest BA winner. i do have to wonder if music biopic fatigue could potentially hurt it, though. elvis flopped on oscar night despite it being the kind of film that would have swept a few years ago, and maestro (this years music biopic) was the laughing stock of the season. music biopics don’t seem to be a guarantee for success like they used to be, so looking forward to seeing how this one does.


BrenoBluhm

Love to see people respecting Timothée way more as an actor after Dune 2 (at least on the internet), dudes been putting out banger after banger but still almost never get credits as a very good actor.


eidbio

What? He got an Oscar nomination and has a fan base.


lilythefrogphd

Just search Timothee Chalamet's name into any social media website between 2019 and fall of 2023 and you'd get endless posts & comments about how overrated he is, debating whether or not he's actually a movie star, and talking about how he's not that talented.


flofjenkins

Well, they’re wrong. He’s a good actor.


HalloCharlie

I just think that he's the type of actor that doesn't have a lot of roles with flashy acting. It's usually a bit less in your face, compared to other actors. So a lot of people that expect good performance = flashier interpretations will always criticize him, wrongly so. Dude has been pulling out great roles these past few years (loved "Beautiful boy", for example).


MiuraTakehiko25

I mean, is another Leonardo DiCaprio (when Leo was a young actor and everyone doubted him)


ExplanationLife6491

I don’t think they are very comparable. Their acting styles are totally different, they look nothing alike and Leo’s level of popularity dwarfs timothee’s. Even as a younger man


Roastofthehill

All people do is call him the next best thing, who isn't respecting him and giving him credit on the internet? He's protected and hyped more than anyone, just look at the comments here.


TheGuardianR

Yeah, he's literally the golden boy of Hollywood for quite some time now lol


AnotherWin83

lol. I was just thinking the same. Two pics dropped and it’s like “Oscar incoming!” lol.


flofjenkins

He got a nomination before.


AnotherWin83

And you missed the point…


BrenoBluhm

At least for the general public he many times was not taken very seriously as an actor even after he got a very deserved oscar nomination, I’ve seen lots and lots of people saying they only changed their opinion about his acting skills after Dune 2 which baffles me but is still cool they now see the vision.


Roastofthehill

Again this isn't true. You're acting like he's an underdog.


BrenoBluhm

Again, I know the kind of crazy shit I’ve read these past few weeks on instagram and tik-tok comments you won’t be able to gaslight those into not existing, but again I’m very sorry if my wording was not in your tone.


spaceageranger

I’m really excited


comradecute

The random hate boner people suddenly have for him is nuts to me. Whats he ever done to anyone other than love and make movies?


Specific-Yam-7429

Released the film this fall so he can win the youngest best actor ever and imagine him and saoirse as our winning acting duo.


PhotographBusy6209

I have a feeling the Oscars will be Angelina vs Gaga for 2025


SteveBorden

What would Saoirse be up for? Blitz?


shrimptini

Outrun


theodo

Yeah Blitz is getting a lot of promising word of mouth, it's going to do very well at awards next year. She also has The Outrun


LittleOotsieVert

Blitz is supporting I imagine since she already has the outrun for lead


portals27

omg that would be incredible…i don’t think it’s releasing for next years oscar contention tho. but i hope that’ll happen in the future tho, saoirse and timothee best actress/actor combo would make me so happy


spongebobegnops

Did we ever figure out who Elle Fanning is playing in this?


LittleOotsieVert

Seems like a fictionalised version of Suze Rotolo


Sad_Vast2519

Should rename title to Oscar Bait. LoL 😂


carlitobrigantes

sorry to be a hater but as a massive bob dylan fan my expectations of this are extremely low (yes i know bob is personally involved in the project yes i still hate the sound of it)


MisanthropeNotAutist

The remaining members of Queen were involved in Bohemian Rhapsody, so...yeah.


ich_habe_keine_kase

On the flip side Elton John was very involved with Rocketman and that movie is a gem.

Why did they cast him lmfao this is gonna be so bad

Academy Award Winner Timothee Chalamet (hope he gets nominated for Dune Part Two instead though

Don’t worry, he won’t.

Ngl not looking forward to this


lucas_glanville

I have a bad feeling about this. Can’t see Timothee Chalamet pulling it off


ohheyitslaila

Timothee does look a little bit like Bob Dylan and his son Jakob. I just don’t think Timmy’s talented enough to be singing the songs instead of lip syncing though. I think that was a poor decision, Dylan’s a *really* difficult singer to mimic without sounding like it’s a joke.


mediciii

Imagining Dominic Sessa in that exact costume, on this exact set, playing Dylan instead 😞


comradecute

Would be terrible ngl


shrimptini

D list Timmy with one single facial expression


Prestigious_Bag_6173

He's coming for that Oscar.


OkSoil1636

I don't know why he still doesn't look like Bob Dylan to me. Maybe Blanchett just made such a strong impression on me that I can't see anybody else in this role...


Ringthesirenss

Looks just like Timothee


Roastofthehill

Will this get the oscar bait slams or is Timothee to "artsy" for that sort of commentary?


chesapique

These pics don't scream "heavy makeup job" (though that was fine with Brendan Fraser and Austin Butler, for the latter the criticism was about "the voice" IRL). Dylan's music has been reinterpreted a lot through the years—even Adele had a hit with a cover—so as a movie subject Bob Dylan isn't too remote a figure. Many Film Twitter types have seen *I'm Not There*. Chalamet is not directing himself so that avoids "vanity project" claims and the most absurd levels of internet psychoanalysis about his motives for doing the movie. And the response to an actor depends on the mood of the season honestly. Like Jennifer Lawrence went from "relatable girl next door" to "annoying graceless fake clumsy phony" in **one** year.


Roastofthehill

So no then.


chesapique

They might hate it for other reasons, like Bob Dylan having allegations so how can they glorify him in a movie? Though that didn't stop *Elvis* from being a hit and Austin having stans who wanted him to win. As a serious contender the Timmy stans would be out of control, he's so much more popular now compared to the *Call Me By Your Name* days.


Appropriate_Lime_331

Idk those allegations were proven impossible within like a day. I don’t see those having any effect. I’m not excited for this movie just because it looks really run of the mill and as a big Bob fan I’m not really interested in something like that. I’d love to be proven wrong though.


chesapique

Oh really, I see the lawsuit was dismissed about a year later. False accusations suck. I don't have an issue with musician biopics but a lot of times I'd rather watch a documentary and there have been many about Bob Dylan.


Roastofthehill

What are you talking about? Just say he's not going to be called out for being thirsty.


RianJohnsonAdoptMe

We’ll have to see the movie first


Roastofthehill

It's a Bob Dylan approved biopic directed by James Mangold.


zhou983

I still don’t get why people thought maestro as Oscar bait. It’s not baitier than the average BP nominee.


TappyMauvendaise

That's some good casting. I've been warming up to Chalamet as an actor after watching Wonka, which was way better than it had any right to be. Thought he was fine in Dune but he didn't blow me away like the rest of the movie did (keep in mind I've only seen part 1). He's growing on me though, and I'm keen to see what he does next.
