This is quite a strange premise, and will certainly be an interesting movie to watch, a Bob Dylan biography movie with seven characters playing different aspects of his character from different times in his life. How weird does that sound? Weird, but very attractive. Even more so when you see the list of actors currently involved, there are six signed on at the moment. The list from Rope of Silicon from Variety:

Variety is reporting quite the bit of casting news as director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) has before him names such as Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell, Adrien Brody, Richard Gere, Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg for a Bob Dylan biography.

The deals are not exactly firm but are expected to be finalized during the Cannes Film Festival.

What a list that is, and you can already see the idea forming when you see the different personalities of the actors involved. Three females? That's not the only interesting aspect of the casting, apparently the seventh is supposed going to be a black actor. This has got to be one of the most interesting projects I've heard about to date, and it's going to make for a really interesting piece of film making, never mind marketing! Has anyone else been bitten by this idea?

Paula is there. Lets see if she is loaded.

There is a theme but it makes no sense. They are singing two songs tonight. One song from Leiber & Stoller and another song from this week’s Billboard charts. Any chart. Should be interesting.

Anthony’s first song: Poison Ivy. Oh dear god. I love this song, but I am not sure about this version. For one thing, he sucks. Second, it sounds like a Mickey Mouse Club singer is doing this. I swear to God I half expect Hillary Duff to jump out and start singing with him. He has his glasses on again, he is cuter with them.

Comments: Randy- Out of tune not great and some unrecognizable a’ights and dawgs and dudes. Paula- Paula says something I do not know. Something about it being positive. Simon- Insipid amateurish performance. Bad. You need to do better.

Scott: He is singing On Broadway. He says some shit about singing it for Simon who told him to pack his bags. “I am not leaving until I am a star on Broadway!” uhmm Hun, American Idols is not search for Broadway stars. Hillbilly idiot. I really have a hard time looking at him. I loved Rueben because he was humble and had heart when he sang. This kid is a fucking idiot and talks like he is a musical god.

Comment: Randy- was good not great. You always manage to do just enough to squeak by. Paula- you have Moxie. She is now trying to explain what moxie is and I am taking bets on who’s head will explode first, hers or dingleberry’s. Simon- you still suck but that was your best performance.

Vonzell: Some Elvi
s song. Treat Me Nice. bleh I like Vonzell, she is a great singer. I did not love this. She is good though. Bad idea to sing songs people do not really know. Makes them forgettable. She is a great singer so she sells it.

Comments: Randy- Great great great with a song I do not even know. Paula- You could work on Broadway in a minute. Simon- elements of it were good. The performance was a mess.
