Timothée Chalamet takes on Bob Dylan's “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall”

Speaking to IndieWire, earlier this year, director James Mangold said: "Bob has been so supportive of us making it... it’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time, the early ’60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pockets hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease.”

"He sings Woody a song that he wrote for him and befriends Pete Seeger, who is like a son to Woody, and Pete sets him up with gigs at local clubs and there you meet Joan Baez and all these other people who are part of this world, and this wanderer who comes in from Minnesota with a fresh name and a fresh outlook on life, becomes a star, signs to the biggest record company in the world within a year, and three years later, has record sales rivalling The Beatles," he continues.

In addition to Chalamet, the film stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Elle Fanning, Boyd Holbrook, Monica Barbaro, and Nick Offerman. In the trailer, Barbaro can be seen in her role as Joan Baez, and Edward Norton stars as Pete Seeger. Chalamet is also seen in the starring role, singing the 1960s classic “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall.”
