I can't imagine anything I'd be less interested in seeing

From iwatchstuff, Todd Hayne's Bob Dylan biopic I'm Not There has been garnering some modest attention because of its gimmicky concept, which involves several actors you wouldn't expect to play the folk artist throughout his life. Pictures had previously turned up of Cate Blanchett in the role, but this poster is the first I'd seen of Christian Bale and Heath Ledger as the singer/songwriter. Blanchett still looks great, but it appears Bale is playing Dylan as a character from Grease, while Ledger is Dylan as the superhero guy from The Adventures of Pete & Pete. I'll hold out judgment until I see Richard Gere as obnoxious Tibetan activist Dylan.

I can imagine something I'd be less interested in seeing: Walk Hard with Jack Black as Paul McCartney.

I can't believe he used an Adventures of Pete and Pete reference!

Cate Blanchett as Dylan is BRILLIANT, imho. But I know/care very little about Dylan.
