Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams in Todd Haynes’ newie
Real-life duo, and “Brokeback Mountain” co-stars, Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams will reunite on “I’m not there”, a new film about legendary musician Bob Dylan.
Ledger has stepped in at the 11th hour to replace originally cast Colin Farrell, says Production Weekly.
Directed by Todd Haynes, it’s essentially thoughts on the life of the man, where seven characters embody a different aspect of the musician’s life and work. Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere and Julianne Moore also star. Actress (!) Charlotte Gainsburg (“21 Grams”) is also said to be playing Dylan, at one point in the film.
Interestingly, Ledger told us in January that he’d be taking this year off, so that his wife could work. Looks like a live-in babysitter is in need.
Also over at Production Weekly today, news on Sidney Lumet’s new film “Before the Devil Knows You’re Dead”. It’ll star Ethan Hawke, Albert Finney and Marisa Tomei, and tells of two brothers who plot to rob their parent’s jewellery store.
