In 1961, an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar. He bonds with Greenwich Village music icons during his meteoric rise, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that reverberates around the world. According to an October 2020 Collider interview with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, the studios’ recently announced COVID precautions were supposed to put the Dylan film project on the back burner; Papamichael and director James Mangold were set to pursue other projects because of it. “I don’t think it’s going to die,” Papamichael said of the Chalamet-starring biopic. “But it’s hard to do in the COVID era because it’s all set in small clubs with a lot of extras in period costumes, so you have a lot of hair and makeup. So our next project is Indiana Jones 5 (2022), really. Mangold is doing that.
