Scenario
At the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a young Bob Dylan shakes up his act on the folk music scene by going electric and rocking out as the voice of a generation — defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th-century music. According to an October 2020 Collider interview with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the Bob Dylan film project was put on the back burner due to the recently announced COVID precautions studios are taking. And because of that, Papamichael and director James Mangold are moving on to other projects. “I don’t think it’s dead,” Papamichael said of the Chalamet-led biopic, “but it’s hard to do in the COVID era because it’s all in small clubs with a lot of extras in period costume, so you have a lot of hair and makeup. So our next project is Indiana Jones 5 (2022), actually.” Mangold is doing that.
