In 1961, an unknown 19-year-old Bob Dylan arrives in New York City with his guitar. In his meteoric rise, he forges relationships with musical icons in Greenwich Village, culminating in a groundbreaking performance that resonates around the world. According to a Collider interview with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael in October 2020, the new COVID precautions the studios were taking were going to put the Bob Dylan film project on the back burner; as a result, Papamichael and director James Mangold were going to move on to other projects. “I don’t think he’s dead,” Papamichael said of the Chalamet-starring biopic, “but it’s hard to do in the age of COVID, because it’s all in small clubs, with a lot of extras in period costumes, so you have a lot of hair. And our next project is ‘Indiana Jones 5’ (2022), Mangold is actually doing that.”
