In 1961, an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar. He forges relationships with Greenwich Village music icons in his atmospheric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that resonates worldwide. According to an October 2020 interview with Collider by cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the studios’ newly announced COVID precautions were going to put the Bob Dylan film project on the back burner; as a result, Papamichael and director James Mangold moved 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 COVID era because it’s set in small clubs with a lot of extras in period costumes, so you’ve got a lot of hair and makeup. So our next project is ‘Indiana Jones 5’ (2022), actually. Mangold is doing that.”
