Timothee Chalamet will sing for Bob Dylan biopic
Mangold's next release is "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny", which will hit the screens in June
James Mangold, the director of the Bob Dylan biopic fronted by Timothee Chalamet, says the Oscar-nominated actor will do his own singing for the upcoming film.
The filmmaker spoke to entertainment portal Collider at London's 'Star Wars Celebration' about the much-anticipated movie.
Based on the book "Dylan Goes Electric" by Elijah Wald, the Searchlight Pictures feature will chart the Nobel laureate's switch from folk to rock music.
Mangold described the film as "an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene".
Shooting on the biopic was likely to commence in August and that such music figures as Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger and Joan Baez would be part of the story, he added.
Dylan is also attached to executive produce the project with Mangold. Jay Cocks penned the screenplay.
Mangold's next release is "Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny", which will hit the screens in June.
