From Zimmy to Timmy: New Featurette for Dylan Bio-pic

Positively going forth sweet.

Greg Mitchell is the author of more than a dozen books including “The Tunnels” and “The Campaign of the Century” and now writer/director of three award-winning films aired via PBS, including “Atomic Cover-up” and “Memorial Day Massacre” (up for an Emmy). You can still subscribe to this newsletter for free.

Just a quickie as earlier postings here of photos/articles/trailers for the upcoming (Christmas) Dylan bio-pic have all provided popular. A new sort of “behind the scenes” featurette just dropped and it focuses on the making of the music as authentic as possible. Claims are made about Timothee singing like Bob (not bad but then our man was no Caruso) and Elle Fanning as Joanie (not that close). Not enough to judge Edward Norton as Pete Seeger. Anyway, enjoy:

An earlier one from a month ago:

The film apparently has a good deal on the Dylan-Cash brotherhood, so if you have never seen this prized clip of them in the studio back in the day (1969?):

Extract from absolute peak of pre-electric Bob, “Chimes of Freedom” at Newport, 1964.

Coming in 2025, happy to field inquiries now…
