Cate Blanchett may be set to play Bob Dylan in the biopic on his life....Hope this opens alot more roles for women in Hollywood, especially women who can really act but who are not 20 years old.

Director Todd Haynes (FAR FROM HEAVEN) has found his star for the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic I'M NOT THERE - Adrien Brody. And Colin Farrell. And Richard Gere. Oh and Julianne Moore and Cate Blanchett too. And then there's Charlotte Gainsbourg. And, yes, they'll all be playing Bob Dylan. Confused? It's all part of Haynes's plan to create an unconventional biography of the legendary musician that will use different actors to portray the singer at different portions and aspects of his life and career. Six of the seven "Dylans" are above and Haynes is still looking for one more - a young black woman the director hopes will accentuate Dylan's "inner-blackness." If this all sounds a little weird to you, know this - I'M NOT THERE is the first time Dylan has given his approval to a feature film based on his life. The project was initially set up at Paramount but whent he new regime came in, lead by new president Brad Grey, the studio dropped it from its schedule. A new deal with a distributor is expected to close at the Cannes Film Festival. The film, which has been described as Haynes's dream project, is expected to film this fall but that may be contingent on the schedules of all the talent involved.
