Timothee Chalamet is in talks to play Bob Dylan in the forthcoming biopic Going Electric, directed by James Mangold.
The last high-profile Dylan biopic was 2007’s I’m Not There, which starred six different actors playing various sides of Dylan’s public persona, including Christian Bale and Cate Blanchett.
The film will follow the musician on his rise to fame as he becomes folk music’s most seminal icon, according to Deadline.
Deadline reports that Chalamet is already taking guitar lessons in preparation for the role.
