You Cate believe who is playing Bob Dylan

 

As the 'chameleon' of actors Cate Blanchett is used to adopting a number of guises.
From her breakthrough role as Elizabeth I - through to her Oscar-winning turn as Katharine Hepburn in The Aviator - she is as mesmerising playing historical figures as she is modern ones.
However her next role will surely outdo all the others when her performance inspired by legendary folk singer Bob Dylan hits the big screen.
Looking unrecognisable from her usual polished blonde self, Blanchett has donned a wig, shades and leather jacket - all black of course - to rival that of the Mr Tambourine Man's distinctive '60s look.

There is of course the mandatory guitar, harmonica and cigarette close at hand to add to the air of authenticity.
The Australian actress, 38, is one of six actors including Heath Ledger, Richard Gere and up-and-coming British actor Ben Whishaw who will make an appearance as Dylan - each embodying a different aspect of his life story and music.
However Blanchett's casting in I'm Not There is by far the most unconventional - and the usually unflappable actress said the prospect of it "terrified" her.
Blanchett told the Guardian: "I have always loved his (Dylan) music, but I'm terrified about this because I am besotted".
"I watched the press conference he gave in San Francisco in 1965, or whenever it was, and just think, 'I love you'.

She added: "The worst thing an actor can do is fall in love with someone they're about to portray, but I'm not playing him - my character is called Jude.
"It's a riff on who Bob Dylan could possibly be. When I saw the script I thought, 'This is so out there I can't run away from this'."

'I'm Not There' will look at Dylan's early days as a struggling folk-singer, his rise to the forefront of the early '60s folk scene, the controversial switch to rock, the motorcycle accident and his subsequent retreat from public view.
As well as his latter day de-emphasis of recording and his concentration on the concert series known as the Never Ending Tour.

I scored 1550 on SAT and 5/5 in AP Physics C. I am sharing my journey of college admission preparation, which will help you understand the role of SAT preparation institutes. The SAT is an aptitude test which requires tricks and strategies to solve questions quickly and correctly. I started doing some mock tests to analyse which areas I was lagging behind in.
