Director James Mangold Had Mentioned Bob Dylan’s Reaction To The Biopic In 2023
Known for having worked on many successful films like ‘Logan’, ‘Ford v Ferrari’, and ‘Girl, Interrupted’, the infamous Director James Mangold had spoken up about Bob Dylan’s reaction to his upcoming biopic ‘A Complete Unknown’.
“By the way, it’s not really a Bob Dylan biopic,” Mangold said on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ Podcast. “The reason Bob has been so supportive of us making it, is it’s about, as in all cases I think of the best true-life movies are never cradle to grave but they’re about a very specific moment. In this case, it might sound Altman-esque, but it’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time, the early ’60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pockets hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease.”
Adding on, Mangold revealed, “I’ve spent several, wonderfully charming, days in his company, just one-on-one, talking to him. I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me. He loves movies. The first time I sat down with Bob, one of the first things he said to me was, ‘I love “Copland.”‘”
