Timothée Chalamet: «The biopic on Bob Dylan will be done, and how. I’ve been working there for two years.”

After having inflamed the souls of Italian fans in recent days (the red carpet in Milan was even canceled due to the crowds), Timothee Chalamet is told in a breathtaking cover story of the magazine varietyon the occasion of the release of Bones and allon November 23rd. The cannibal drama presented to Venice Film Festivalsees him engaged in a new collaboration with Luca Guadagnino, who launched his career in Call me by your name.

Meanwhile, the young star has been shooting the sequel to Dunes in Budapest but in his heart he has a certain project which he does not intend to refuse easily. It’s about the Bob Dylan biopic titled Going Electricdirected by James Mangold. In the meantime, the director is busy on Indiana Jones 5discouraged by delays due to the pandemic.

This has led everyone to believe that the project was now dead and buried, three years after the first announcement, but this is not the case for the actor, according to whom instead is moving towards “a right direction”: «I’ve never stopped preparing – he adds – for an experience that I consider the greatest gift I could imagine, being able to immerse myself in that world, whether it happens or not». Suffice it to say that during the lockdown Chalamet really moved from New York to Woodstock (renting an apartment on Airbnb to breathe the same air as the singer). «Not that I wouldn’t have found inspiration elsewhere – he specified to GQ – but being there really allowed me to create a bond».

Audiences won’t have to wait long to hear him sing on the big screen, however, since will be the star of the musical Wonka (with at least seven musical numbers relating to it). To prepare for the role, an entire rehearsal room was built by director Paul King inside the Leavesden studios outside London, the same ones that hosted the filming of Harry Potter and the prequel Fantastic beasts and where to find them and which have partly been transformed into a tour-museum-amusement park.

To be completely honest, the 26-year-old is not exactly short of notes and scores: at the time of LaGuardia high school enjoyed rapping under the stage name Lil Timmy Tim and that video — first shown by Ellen DeGeneres in 2017 — now boasts millions of views.

Chalamet’s versatility – and not only that – makes him one of the most loved stars under 30 in Hollywood: he manages to move with ease from more intimate stories (not only with Guadagnino, but with Greta Gerwig who directed him both in Lady Bird and in Little Women) to epic projects such as Dune. Whether it’s an indie or a blockbuster, he has shown that he always puts his face into it, not only filming it with passion but promoting it and spending it with the public, a very rare gift today, especially among young celebs.
