musician Bob Dylan

I’M NOT THERE
debuts on DVD on May 6th from Genius Products and The
Weinstein Company. Featuring the Oscar® nominated and Golden
Globe® winning*
performance by Cate Blanchett (Elizabeth: The Golden Age, The Aviator)
I’M NOT THERE
weaves together a daring and complex narrative of an ever-elusive
American icon. Garnering three awards at the 2007 Venice Film Festival,
including Special Jury Prize and Best Actress, Cate Blanchett
I’M NOT THERE
was recently awarded the honorary Robert Altman Award at the 2008
Spirit Awards. Academy®
nominated director Todd Haynes (Far From Heaven) dramatizes the
complexities of this gifted artist’s protean existence while giving
imaginative shape to the various aspects of both his life and
work.
I’M NOT THERE
features an all-star cast with six actors each portraying a different
aspect of Bob Dylan including Blanchett, Christian Bale (Rescue Dawn),
Richard Gere (Chicago), the late Heath Ledger (Brokeback Mountain) as
well as Ben Whishaw (Layer Cake) and Marcus Carl Franklin (“Law &
Order”). Also featuring a stellar supporting cast including
Julianne Moore (Children of Men) and Michelle Williams (Brokeback
Mountain),
I’M NOT THERE
skillfully combines a biographical tale with ponderous metaphors and
legendary myths. Presenting a versatile and creative use of
Dylan’s music, only Franklin performs his song with his own voice, the
rest of the soundtrack mixes original Dylan recordings with existing
covers, including new versions by a variety of musicians including
Ritchie Havens, Iggy Pop, John Doe and Sonic Youth, among others.
I’M NOT THERE
DVD includes nine deleted scenes, a conversation with Todd Haynes and
much more (see below for details) and will be available for the
