Chalamet stars and sings in Dylan’s unique voice in the film, which includes his career-changing performance at the 1965 Newport Folk Music Festival, he performed his first concert with electric instruments.
Joining Chalamet are Academy Award nominee Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz, Eriko Hatsune, Big Bill Morgenfield, Will Harrison, and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.
Mangold (Ford v Ferrari, Walk the Line) directs from a screenplay he co-wrote with Jay Cocks (The Age of Innocence, Gangs of New York). The film is produced Fred Berger, Alex Heineman, Bob Bookman, Peter Jaysen, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen, Timothée Chalamet & James Mangold.
