Ed Norton is Pete Seeger. Think the shot of Chalamet taking off his glasses in what looks to be a hospital room, while he looks at someone with curly hair, is Dylan and Guthrie.
It looks like it will be an awesome movie. Living my teenage years in the 60's and 70's, a huge fan of Dylan's music and I am looking forward to this movie.
I grew up in MN listening to Dylan with my dad. Kudos to Timothee Chalamet for taking a big risk and (it sounds like) pulling it of. Looking forward to it and thrilled to see you Tony! Thanks for posting!
That guy is not woody Guthrie. First, he said "woody Guthrie and I" so it's not him. Second, it's clear from his voice Edward Norton is playing Pete Seeger
I saw Dylan open up for Van Morrison at the Madison Square Garden theatre about 15 or so years ago ( maybe even more ) and both were very good, a mellow concert and fun.
On the cover of BD's second album, Freewheelin', Bob is posed with Suze Rotolo, his then girlfriend. The trailer presents the film as a love triangle with Bob, Joan, and Suze, although word is that the girlfriend character is fictionalized for the purposes of the film. The actress you identified early in the trailer as Joan is actually the Suze-inspired character. If you're old enough, and if you've been a Dylan fan long enough, these details are obvious, but anyone new to Dylan is in for a good story. The real Suze went on to become a successful artist, and died a few years ago.
Don't Look Back was filmed during Dylan's last acoustic tour in England, April and May 1965, but the movie was not released until 1967. June of 1965 is when Dylan started working on/recording Like A Rolling Stone and was released on his album, Highway 61 Revisited, in August of that year. Bringing It All Back Home was released in March of 1965. Side 1 was electric, side 2 was acoustic. He officially went electric, to the audiences I guess you could say, was at the Newport Folk Festival in July 1965, where he first sang Maggies Farm and then Like A Rolling Stone. To placate the audience that freaked when they heard Dylan do electric for the first time, he did, It's All Over Now Baby Blue, which is on side 2 of BIABH, as his closer.
The actor is Timothy Chalamet, who plays Paul Atreides in the current Dune film series. Also, nice to hear from you again. We ran into each other at the Fretboard Summit last year. I was so disappointed to find out shortly after coming home that the Acoustic Tuesday show was going away. It was something I really looked forward to every week.
Miley did an amazing job with that cover. I don't care about her past; she's not the first musician who went through dark days. As for the movie, I'll definitely see it. James Mangold won't fail us. I loved both Walk the Line and Ford vs. Ferrari (and I don't care a thing about cars). He also did Logan, which was an awesome movie, and I'm not all that into comic book movies either. Top notch cast in A Complete Unknown, too. It's gonna be awesome.
Inside Llewyn Davis would make a great double feature with the new biopic. It's fictional but captures that same Greenwich Village vibe. You definitely should check it out if you haven't seen it.
Favorite early Dylan song is Don't Think Twice It's Alright. The last couple years I've listened to Jokerman a lot. Find it quite hypnotic, like other favorites Visions of Johanna and Desolation Row. Favorite cover is Jimi's All Along the Watchtower. Sorry to be so predictable and basic but it's just one of the greatest songs ever recorded.
@@ronbock8291 Yeah, I'm Not There and Inside Llewyn Davis would be a better double feature. I assume-I'm sure the new biopic will be good enough but it will be a standard biopic.
I’m going to see it in the theaters for sure!! I’m super pumped for this movie and maybe long over due, however if they do this justice, then worth the wait. Both Johnny Cash and Bob Dylan are icons, maybe different “genres”, but iconic none the less. They also had a great appreciation for each other and their duet of of the Girl from the North Country is absolutely fantastic!!
Ironically today is the anniversary of Dylan going electric. His vinyl is the most collected by audiophiles. Neil Young being second place. Johnny Cash was more niche when Walk The Line came out. Same with The Doors. Those movies propelled them into mainstream popularity. I am very excited for this new movie. The trailer is beautiful already. Timothee Chalamet is going to blow up like Joaquin Phoenix.
Fun fact Steve jobs and his Apple cofounder Steve Wozniak were absolutely obsessed with Dylan and would hunt for his vinyls back when they had just started Apple. “The two of us would go tramping through San Jose and Berkeley and ask about Dylan bootlegs and collect them,” said Wozniak. “We’d buy brochures of Dylan lyrics and stay up late interpreting them. Dylan’s words struck chords of creative thinking.” Jobs was so enamoured he rang Baez to ask if she could teach him to play piano, and even though she said she didn’t know how to, he asked if they could meet up anyway. They ended up dating, he was still just 27 and whilst Baez was 41! 😂
Years ago I stayed at a friend's cabin in AK for a week without running water or Internet/phone. My friends left Bob Dylan's Bootleg Series Vol 1-3, CD 1, in the player. I listened to it daily on repeat. Some amazing songs and a good memory of mine. Fav cover: You ain't goin' nowhere - Glen Hansard, Markéta Irglová
Freaking love the breakdown, Dylan was my biggest musical influence for the better part of my youth. Can’t wait to see this movie, thanks for the heads up. GnR’s of Knocking on Heavens Door was what made me pick up a guitar. Keep up the great work, really enjoy all your content.
Tony, you make me smile! When you dig further into Dylan, maybe you’ll find this hidden gem: New Morning, an album not often spoken about but full of awesomeness.
hey Tony....this needs to be a thanksgiving, christmas opening. The day Dylan dies the earth will shake. I feel the same way about Paul Simon. As the earth shook when John Lennon was murdered. Is Dylan niche? No. He is musical history, if they actually taught that in schools anymore. ANYONE, who wants to know how to write a song, I mean to be honest there are several examples of songwriters I could cite, but....Dylan would have to be number one to study. I can't wait to see this movie.
Cat Power has a really great cover of Stuck In Mobile (With The Memphis Blues Again). She also wrote a love song to Bob Dylan called Song To Bobby. Years later she did a whole concert of Bob Dylan songs at Royal Albert Hall which was recorded and released as an album. Good stuff!
You may be thinking of I'm Not There directed by Todd Haynes, a surreal examination of 6 different periods in Bob Dylan's life played by different actors playing characters that are not Dylan but are representative of those periods. Very Fellini-esque. Even though I am not really a fan of biopics I will see this if it makes it to theaters in Japan. You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go is one of the Dylan songs that I perform around a campfire.
Hey man, Tony, I've loved your channel for a decade. But you don't know of the Dylan-Baez fling? I've known of it since before you were born. As a kid in India, I heard about it in the lyrics to "To Bobby" and "Diamonds and Rust."
release is scheduled for Christmas day and I will see it in theaters because I am a loner, a big cinema fan, and too impatient to wait for streaming. PS: Scoot McNairy is cast as Guthrie
yes..and if you go frame by frame you do catch a shot of Woody from behind, the curly hair. . It's the very short clip with Dylan standing looking at a person, the rooms window has metal window grates. This Is Dylan's visit to Woody who is in a Hospital bed in NJ. BTW I am so looking forward to this movie. First saw Dylan as an 10 year old at the Syria Mosque in PGH in 66 with my older sister, then again in 75 during Rolling Thunder and his music has been a constant in my life. Timothy certainly has done an excellent job here, and if I'm not mistaken the entire project has the blessing of Dylan himself. The trailer does capture the vibe extremely well. I 1st drove from Pgh to NYC in 1970 to see my sister who was NYU then and the trailer for sure captures that Village era very well ( I moved to NYC in 78 and even then the village and downtown area seemed frozen in time, before the massive gentrification and construction boom that began in the 90s.) Timothy does a tremendous job here capturing Dylan. If this movie is as powerful as Walk the Line it will hopefully inspire a new generation of Dylan fans!
My favorite cover of a Dylan song is by a bluegrass guy named Tim O'Brien, of the song "Senor". Actually, O'Brien did a whole album of Dylan covers which he titled "Red on Blond", and did a great job on all the songs, but his take on "Senor" is my personal favorite...
I didn’t know Dylan until I heard the cassette my older brother bought home from abroad ( tons of it btw Ty bro y rip)…Miley is the best Timothy is cool y whoever came up with film thanks y every artists y actors y crews y this video❤🎉
Folk music is considered a niche. And Bob Dylan is a folk performer even if he is one of the best songwriters in the world and all of his music has crossed genres. Johnny Cash is a country star. One of the biggest ever. I think most music genres are overrated anyway
@@audreywood2056 Bob Dylan wasnt just a folk artist he wrote some Of the best rock songs ever in no universe is he considered niche. Johnny Cash sold 90 million records.
I'm seeing a December 25, 2024 release date now! I live 1000 miles from all of my friends and family so looks like I have real Christmas plans this year!! And my favorite Dylan song is Just Like Tom Thumbs Blues! I can't explain why it's my favorite, but it is. One of my actually favorite songs in general, really.
The girl kissing Dylan in the movie is the girl on the cover of The Freewheelin' Bob LP (Sylvie Russo aka Suze Rotolo) played by Ellie Fanning. I think the Joan Baez romance came later. A Complete Unknown is supposed to be released Dec. 24, 2024
I'm 68 and my older brother and sister's records were the first music I really listened to. They had all the greats. Dylan, Baez, The Beach Boys on and on. As I learned to play guitar those were the songs I went to first. I will def have to see the Biopic.
ironcally the movie is inspired by the book Dylan went electric! which I assume is what the later film will be about. they do change a little bit that pete and woody met him a bit before Greenwich village but don't mind that since bob made up his own background so the biopic treatment kinda works for bob in that way. this movie is definitely getting nominated for set design, they recreated greenwich village as you can tell, and Clomiba recording studios during the 60s and the whole town of newport as well. Oh and, johnny cash will be in this film as well, they met before cash played his show at the early Newport folk festival
Can't wait. I'll be in the theatre opening day. I think Christmas Day. I get goosebumps thinking of those first 2 notes of "Like a Rolling Stone " on the big screen.
It could be Bob Dylan and Suze Rotolo in the film because she's the one on the Freewheelin' cover. Also there's Joan Baez, Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Johnny Cash, covered in the movie check out IMDB
Bob Dylan and Bob Marley are my favorite Musicians of all time!! Both for different reasons but let's get back to Bob Dylan, he's been covered by everyone and their momma!! Since you mentioned covers, I have to share my favorite cover and its by Moths, song: I shall be free. Can't wait for this movie to come out, ill be watching it!!
Sorry the song is "I shall be released" here is a link. Greatest Bob Dylan cover in my opinion. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-V51FAQEkWag.htmlsi=Hhx4scBZTvTOsKlP
A cover that I love is Jeff Buckley's "If you see her, say hello". I'm a sucker for Blood on the Tracks. And of course, Hendrix's "All along the watchtower" also ranks among my all-time fav rock songs. Looking forward to watch the biopic.
Bob used a J-50 for his first couple of Albums, but then acquired a Gibson Nick Lucas which he used through the 1966 world tour. Another Dylan bio-pic was "I'm not there" where Dylan was played by several actors at various points of his early career, including Cate Blanchett as circa '66 Dylan.
If Wolverine is your favorite superhero, you’ll love to know that, not only is this the director of Walk the Line, he also directed Logan and The Wolverine (Samurai) movie.
1963, she introduced the world to a then unknown Bob Dylan,2 year relationship. March on Washington 1963, setting for MLK's "I have Dream"..Yes Joan Baez(already Famous) was "Huuge" in early Dylan success.
I love Buckets of Rain too. There is a fantastic acoustic cover of this done by Toni Lindgren. It is far and away the best Dylan Cover I have ever come across. It is one lady and one guitar recording in a camper van in the mountains. Miley is good but Toni play and sings and man o man can she play.
@@DoDifferent Checked out Redbird. I agree. I am a sucker for one voice one guitar. That is why Toni gets my nod over Redbird, which is now my new favorite group effort! Thanks buddy.
@DoDifferent : Jeffrey Foucault has crossed my radar, Did not know he was in Redbird, If you are a musician check out his video on the "Almost Perfect Concert" Dude is observationally wise!!!
It’s hard to say what my favorite Bob Dylan song is. For now, I’m gonna say Boots of Spanish Leather -as a cover particularly by Joan Baez who manages it so beautifully. The words and meaning are remarkable. Miley doing a cover of When You Go wasn’t impressive to me, however I do like the younger gens picking up his songs.
Us old guys remember his beginning well. Favorite song," Jack of Hearts" or "Tangled up in Blue" His relationship with Joan Baez seemed to be a dream couple. It ended badly, too soon for Joan. Listen to her song "Diamonds and Dust", that sums up the pain, ever after the past decades.
Thanks for the heads-up on this film, I look forward to seeing it, and a special thanks for the review of my Tyler Robbins Guitar. It is every bit phenomenal as you have stated in the review, but I can't entirely agree with it needing my being a protege of Salvador Dali to love or appreciate it. Yes of course I worked closely with Tyler for the build, and had a LOT of input, and pushed Tyler the entire build, but this to me is what a custom made instrument should be. Loved your picking Dylan on your Collings and it sounded great. Dylan was unquestionably my first Dali, and while it might have been Like a Rolling Stone, or Positively Fourth Street that ran me over like a truck and stole my mind and body, I too, love going back to the early stuff and thank you for the post and your playing.
All Dylan movies are awesome. Sometimes you will not like them at first “I’m not there” is a typical example but the movie will play over and over in your head and the next time you watch it it all falls into place. One such movie I watched was the cohen brothers movie “true grit” after the hype about how great it was I was realy looking forward to watching it. I watched it on Friday night and was very underwhelmed. When I got up on the Saturday morning I thought to myself “ that movie will not leave my mind alone. I watched it again and all was revealed. I would say that movie is a masterpiece and for me personally is in my top 5 movies after all time.
I never was a big Dlyan fan but I would be interested to see this movie. The Johnny & June Carter Cash movie was really great so I look forward to seeing this! Laurel Canyon was also great with the interviews. We all love deep roots and wings to fly.♡♡
Great to see this come up on my feed tonight! Looks like a great picture and yes , I would love to go and see it, when it’s released! Mr Tambourine Man is my favourite Dylan song and of course The Byrds version is simply a classic!!! See you again soon Tony! Well I mean, I will tomorrow for the Friday Challenge!!👍👍
Great to see you, Tony! The decision was totally understandable, but Acoutstic Tuesdays is sorely missed. Favorite Dylan cover (and there are many)? Jimi's All Along The Watchtower, but that reflects the era in which I grew up. Mom and Dad were New Christy Minstrel fans, but I was more Zeppelin, so Jimi was a hero. Peace.
I rarely like biographical movies about iconic celebrities, as they always fail at the main thing they’re aiming at, trying in vain to capture the unique talents & draw that made them so captivating & more popular than their contemporaries in the first place….. nearly always misses the mark & consequently comes off as soul less & disengagin. This one doesn’t sound to be any different…. just my opinion, of course.
