Ledger plays Dylan
Heath Ledger will be one of the actors portraying Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes' forthcoming musical biopic.
May 23 2006
Hollywood golden couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have both joined the high profile cast of Bob Dylan biopic 'I'm Not There'.
'Brokeback Mountain' star Ledger replaces Colin Farrell as one of six actors to play Dylan in the film, which is due to start shooting in Montreal in July.
He joins Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere and Ben Wishaw in the lead role, with one more Dylan yet to be cast.
Todd Haynes ('Velvet Goldmine', 'Far From Heaven') is directing the $25 million 'ferocious musical romp', while Michael Stipe, Jack White and PJ Harvey will provide the soundtrack.

- I thought Julianne Moore was supposed to play one of the avtaars of Dylan or have some sort of a role in the flick. Isn't she like Haynes's muse? PJ Harvey! Finally the woman appears again, thought she may have gone Dry for sometime but glad that she'll work alongside Jack White who I hope will have better things to offer than Cold Mountain.
