    Deadline:


    Searchlight Pictures has closed a deal with Ford v Ferrari helmer James Mangold to direct Timothée Chalamet as the young Bob Dylan, during the period when he was poised to become folk music’s most seminal figure. When Dylan instead embraced rock ‘n’ roll and traded his acoustic guitar for an amp and an electric guitar, it created a huge outcry. And it cemented the status of rock music. Jeff Rosen, his longtime manager, is working on Dylan’s behalf actively with Searchlight and Mangold on the film, which the studio said is untitled but has been referred to around town as Going Electric.

    Bohemian Rhapsody about Queen, Rocket Man about Elton and Bob Dylan movie to come.

    It’s not that the musician/band biopic is anything new, but after two years of successful awards season pushes and plenty of aging or deceased influential musicians, I could see more of these to come with high aspirations.

    I will say, I personally enjoyed the clever and original take Yesterday (by Danny Boyle) took on the Beatles music and re-writing history instead. Biopics are still good though if done properly. Also, Mangold did a really good job on Ford vs Ferrari which was also a multi real character movie, so that’s promising.
