Timothée Chalamet is in talks to play Bob Dylan in upcoming biopic from Walk the Line director James Mangold.
Folk music enthusiasts loved Bob Dylan when he played his acoustic set at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival. But reports said Dylan "electrified one half of his audience, and electrocuted the other" when he plugged in for his July 25, 1965 appearance. While the sound engineer of the show contradicts it, the press wrote Dylan was booed during the set.

The incident will be the basis of James Mangold's upcoming as-yet-untitled film. Timothée Chalamet is in talks to play Dylan, according to Deadline.
The feature will be based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric. The screenplay was written by former Time and Newsweek film critic Jay Cocks,...

Exclusive: Searchlight Pictures has closed a deal with Ford V Ferrari helmer James Mangold to direct Going Electric. Timothee Chalamet is attached to play Bob Dylan during the period when he was poised to become folk music’s most seminal figure. When Dylan instead embraced rock n roll and traded his acoustic guitar for an amp and an electric guitar, it created a huge outcry. And it cemented the status of rock music. Dylan is working actively with Searchlight and Mangold on the film.
Negotiations are underway with Chalamet, who has gotten strong reviews for Little Women, and who next will make his London stage debut opposite Eileen Atkins in 4,000 Miles, the Old Vic production of Amy Herzog’s Pulitzer-nominated drama. The play bows April 16 and closes May 23rd. It is expected he will do Going Electric after that. Chalamet this year has the Wes Anderson-directed The French Dispatch...
