Product Details:Inspired by the Life and Music of Bob Dylan. Oscar-nominated writer-director Todd Haynes brings us the ultimate film on the most influential artist of the 20th Century, Bob Dylan. Taking inspiration from his ever changing career, I’m Not There is an interwoven series of stories taking place in America in the 60s and 70s. Each expressing an aspect of Dylan’s mercurial personality and each story is to be filmed differently, in a style appropriate to its theme: Woody (an 11 year old black boy, always on the run), Robbie (a womanising performer, always on the road- played by Heath Ledger), Jude (the young androgynous rock star – Cate Blanchett), John/Jack (a folk idol who reinvents himself as an evangelist – Christian Bale), and Billy (the famous outlaw, miraculously alive but growing old – Richard Gere). Five different actors play six different Dylanesque characters. Linking these stories is the music of Dylan himself either as the original songs or cover versions.
