News on Todd Haynes' Dylan movie

[Patricia Jungwirth]

from interview with Julianne Moore :

WCT: Will you make me happy and tell me you’re going to do another Todd
Haynes movie?

JM: ( brightens ) Yeah, I am! You know, Todd’s next movie is about Dylan,
isn’t that cool? It’s this meditation on Dylan with all these people
playing Dylan-like characters and I have a very, very small part in it
where I’m like the Joan Baez/Joni Mitchell kind of character. It’s teensy
weensy but I’m happy to do it because I really love Todd. I don’t know when
he’s going to shoot it, I think they’re raising the money now.

Also on tap for production in the Spring are new films from Todd Haynes and
Tom Kalin. "Savage Grace" is Kalin's long anticipated new film, while
Haynes' "I'm Not There" features an unconventional (and sanctioned) look at
the life of Bob Dylan with different actors (Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell,
Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg)
portraying the musician during various periods of his life. Vachon noted
that in the case of this film, the stellar cast is both appropriate to the
material and necessary to reassure financiers concerned about the risky
approach to the story.

[EDITORS NOTE: This story was slightly modified due to incorrect cast
information for the new Todd Haynes film, "I'm Not There." Christian Bale
has replaced Adrien Brody in the cast. Also, Killer Films has clarified the
description of the movie. In the film, the actors don't play Bob Dylan at
different periods in his life, but rather portray characters based on
different aspects of Dylan. And Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg
play other characters, not ones who are representations of Dylan.]

Why do I get the feeling this movie will never get made?
