Girl From The North Country

The first picture of Cate Blanchett as Bob Dylan in I’m Not There, Todd Haynes’ bizarro Dylan bio-pic that will premiere at Cannes in May.

Other first look pics currently up at Ion Cinema include: Naomi Watts and Viggo Mortensen in David Cronenberg’s upcoming Eastern Promises,
Naomi Watts in Michael Haneke’s Funny Games, and Julianne Moore in Tom Kalin’s Savage Grace, which is based on the Pulitzer-prize winning book that tells the incredible true story of Barbara Daly (Moore), who was the wife of Brooks Baekeland, the heir to the Bakelite plastics fortune.

If the Dylan movie is a success we’ll get to see how far Haynes can push things. He’s a wild card.

And great, now Bakelite will be even more expensive.

was dylan wearing raybans back then? man. dylan back then and joel madden today. so much in common. its eerie.

I’d like to see her pull off Ice T’s wife Coco. That would be acting.

Great another pretentious role for Cate Blanchett.

Heath Ledger, what are they thinking. Kim Basinger, now theres your Joker.

that joker pic looks MIGHTY similar to the parents in david lynch’s short “the grandmother.”

they’ll never do the modern day Dylan biopic where he’s the cranky old neighbor beeyotching about property lines and unpruned plum trees.

Joker pic = fake

It’s a photoshopped Heath Ledger head on Orlando Bloom’s body. Huh.

richbob- I was just coming in here to comment that the pic looked either badly ‘shopped or, at the very least, badly colorized. I actually think Ledger is going to be a great joker. He does have a sorta freaky smile already.

Disagree. Joker should be menacing and Ledger doesn’t fit the bill.
