Who is Bob Dylan? Excellent question. Searchlight Photographs is slated to deliver a new movie about that time Dylan picked up an electrical at the Newport Folks Competition. Cast to engage in 1965 Dylan? Timothée Chalamet, the 24-calendar year-old who’s before long to star in a Dune remake. We like that select wonderful. But just to be handy, we considered we’d request some neighborhood tunes and movie execs if they could consider of any one superior.

Here are their hot will take. 

“Danny Holden from Ooey Gooey reminds me of 1979 Dylan. Tim Curry would engage in an remarkable Vincent Price-1997 Dylan.” —Har Mar Celebrity, musician

“I’d like to see Girl Gaga engage in young Bob Dylan. She’s often fascinated me with what a chameleon she can be on digital camera. And she undoubtedly has the vocal expertise to have the purpose.”—Maribeth Romslo, filmmaker

“Hmm. I consider maybe James Franco could be a superior Christian-period of time Dylan. Or, test out this strategy: Tom Cruise. He’d in all probability have actually unusual strategies on what Dylan was all about and consider to uncover some psychological cure that doesn’t basically exist with the actual Dylan. Tom Cruise—in a fluffy wig and best hat, placing on his Ray-Bans all neat, accomplishing Dylan’s crusty-old-man voice—would be great.” —Isaac Gale, musician, filmmaker

“Remember Bob Dylan’s Christmas album? I consider it was in 2010 or so. I’m contemplating of the old-Jewish-fart-doesn’t-give-a-fuck-in-the-Santa-hat Dylan singing “Must Be Santa.” I don’t know, bare Geoffrey Hurry?” —Nicole Brending, filmmaker
