According to a Collider interview in October 2020 with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, that the Bob Dylan film project was going to be put on the backburner due to the recently released COVID precautions that studios are taking. And because of that, Papamichael and director James Mangold are moving onto other projects. "I don't think it's dead," said Papamichael about the Chalamet-led biopic, "But it's a tough one to pull off in a COVID-era because it's all in small clubs with lots of extras in period costumes, so you've got lots of hair and makeup. So our next project is Indiana Jones 5 (2022), actually. Mangold's doing that."
The original title for this film was "Going Electric".
This is Chalamet and Fanning's second movie together. First being A Rainy Day In New York.
James Mangold's second biopic after Walk The Line(2005).
