Scenario
At the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a young Bob Dylan shakes up the folk music scene by going electronic and creating rock as the voice of a generation—defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. According to an October 2020 interview with Collider cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the Bob Dylan film project would be put on the back burner due to the recently announced COVID precautions that studios have put in place. And as a result, Papamichael and director James Mangold are moving on to other projects. “I don’t think it’s dead,” Papamichael said of the Chalamet-directed biopic, “but it’s hard to do in the era of COVID because it’s all set in small clubs with a lot of extras in period costumes, so you have a lot of hair and makeup, so our next project is Indiana Jones 5 (2022), Mangold will do it.”
