Timothée Chalamet to Do His Own Singing in Bob Dylan Biopic, With Production to Begin in August, Director Says

Woody Guthrie, Joan Baez, and Pete Seeger are all reportedly featured in James Mangold’s upcoming project

Timotheé Chalamet is set to do his own singing as Bob Dylan in a forthcoming biopic, according to director James Mangold. At a Star Wars press event in Europe, Mangold told Collider that the film is slated to begin shooting in August. “It’s such an interesting true story about such an interesting moment in the American scene,” he said. Pitchfork has contacted representatives for Chalamet and Mangold for comment.

The project was first reported with the title Going Electric in 2020, with Mangold and Chalamet attached to the story about Dylan’s early years in New York City. Mangold more recently said that the film will feature Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Joan Baez, but he did not reveal who has been cast in those roles. The film does not yet have a release date. Mangold’s newest project, Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, arrives on June 30, a day before Dylan takes the stage at the 2023 Montreux Jazz Festival.
