1. *EXPLANATION*

http://www.cinemablend.com/new/Colin-Farrell-Kicked-Off-Dylan-2638.html

Colin Farrell will not be Bob Dylan. Hollywood's most notorious babe hound had been cast as the lead role in I'm Not There, a biopic about the music legend, but now Ananova says he's out.


Heath will now be one of six actors playing the singer in the movie. Why so many? We don't know, but Ledger, Richard Gere, and Christian Bale are all cast in the movie as Bob Dylan. Will they play Dylan at different ages, or will the actor playing him change depending on his mood? Heath can play happy Bob, Christian Bale can play angry Bob, and Richard Gere can play badly acted Bob.

11. That blurb is more entertaining than the real movie synopsis!

I guess the actors are supposed to be playing aspects of Dylan's personality as expressed through his music. Sounds like you'll have to be stoned to watch this one and have it make sense.:P

3. Johnny Depp. He can always borrow Kidman's prostetic nose.

It's mumbling ability we need here! Him or D'Onofrio...

4. Adrian Brody

He already has the nose. The other guys, I just don't see it.

5. How's about

Robert Zimmerman himself while he's still alive.

Has anyone with XM caught his weekly radio show. I only heard a clip and he was enormously animated and thoroughly entertaining.

9. I caught a bit of his show last Friday.

Really enjoyed it a lot.

He even told a couple of bawdy mother-in-law jokes. Maybe bawdy is the wrong word. Devilish is probably better.

10. I have really enjoyed his weekly shows. Great music, wry sense

of humor and at times insightful comments. To paraphrase , John Lee Hooker, 9 bars one time, 13 bars the next. Always better by himself than with a band.

6. Other...

Keith Richards. :rofl:
