Well, there it is. Pretty exciting post, right? The soundtrack – which still doesn’t have a finalized tracklist is due October 30.
As we’ve already mentioned, it’s the season of Dylan this fall. In addtion to the “I’m Not There” soundtrack and movie, the 3-disc cashgrab, Dylan, and a fall tour, there’s going to be “The Drawn Blank Series,” the first ever exhibition of Dylan’s artwork starts a 3 month run on October 28 in Germany and Zimmy himself starts his second season of his “Theme Time Radio Hour” on Sept. 19.
As for “I’m Not There,” Reuters called it an “oddball,” film that might have trouble connecting with mainstream audiences and non-Dylanites. The review says Ben Whishaw’s poet Rimbaud/Dylan talks to the camera and says the Marcus Carl Franklin Woody character is a depression era drifter.
Director Todd Haynes told reporters in Venice that the film was broken up into phases of Dylan’s life to “accentuate his contrasts, contradictions and complexity.”
