As a longtime fan of Bob Dylan, I find myself utterly captivated by this list of potential biopic ideas. It’s like a dream come true for any Dylan enthusiast!
Inside me, I harbor two different appreciations: one that resonates with the complex and dynamic portrayals of Bob Dylan in Todd Haynes’ 2007 film “I’m Not There”, and another that finds delight in the straightforward retelling of certain aspects of Dylan’s life as presented in James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown”. The fascinating aspect of representing Bob Dylan on screen is his multifaceted artistic journey, which encompasses a variety of contrasting periods. Whether you prefer your biopics to be heartfelt, realistic accounts of well-known narratives or imaginative allegories symbolizing various chapters of American history over the past six decades, there’s a Dylan for every taste.
With the emergence of “A Complete Unknown”, I’m yearning for a realistic and concise biographical portrayal of some of Dylan’s more unusual and obscure episodes from his life. His varied career, marked by highs and lows, offers rich potential for any genre, director, or performer. Given that Hollywood seems to be trapped in the intellectual property realm, why not reimagine Bob Dylan’s life as an expansive cinematic universe?
The making of Tarantula
The Enigma – A Stream-of-Consciousness Poetry Collection
Which filmmaker among David Lynch, Charlie Kaufman, Jordan Peele, or a collaboration between Tim Burton and Henry Selick could effectively bring Dylan’s most enigmatic visuals to life, particularly maintaining the humor? Or, might Tim Burton reteam with Henry Selick to draw upon their captivating stop-motion style reminiscent of “The Nightmare Before Christmas”?
Could we imagine David Cross portraying a character inspired by Bob Dylan, perhaps even a talking tarantula, in line with Dylan’s literary tribute to Allen Ginsberg, in the broader Bob Dylan fictional universe?
The writing and recording of Blood on the Tracks
The Main Storyline in “I’m Not There” revolves around the tumultuous bond shared by Dylan and his former spouse, Sara Lownds. Their relationship strained significantly following the creation of Dylan’s poignant 1975 album, “Blood on the Tracks“. Despite Dylan’s assertion that the album isn’t autobiographical, their son Jakob Dylan describes it as a reflection of their personal conversations. With this intriguing backdrop, let’s explore how this tale could be expanded into a full-length drama.
Who’s Directing? Bring back Noah Baumbach to make a ’70s folk-rock version of Marriage Story.
Is Adam Driver still a great fit for Baumbach’s vision, or could any other melancholic Hollywood actor pull it off just as well? (referring to the question “Who’s Playing Dylan?”)

Who’s Directing? Brady Corbet.
Is it undecided who will portray Dylan? However, it’s crucial to reassemble Paul Rudd, Jack Black, Justin Long, and Jason Schwartzman to recapture the most iconic Beatles scene on film once more.
Bob Dylan’s arrest for looking scruffy
In 2009, a man named Dylan, then 68 years old and somewhat disheveled, was apprehended by police in Long Branch, New Jersey, due to acting suspiciously (he was merely taking a stroll). When he identified himself, neither officer recognized him, leading them to place him in their car for further verification of his identity. This was done by contacting the staff at a nearby hotel.
Who’s Directing? Tim Robinson. How is this not already an I Think You Should Leave sketch?
What if we portray James Austin Johnson, from the show “A Complete Unknown,” tweeting about his arrest as Bob Dylan?

The Plot: Generational trauma.
Who’s Directing? Robert Eggers.
Who’s Playing Dylan? Bill Skarsgård in his Nosferatu makeup.
Dylan’s born-again Christian trilogy
The Plot: Still the most confounding era of Dylan’s career is his late-’70s, early-’80s trilogy of Slow Train Coming, Saved, and Shot of Love, which leaned into Evangelical imagery following the Jewish-born Dylan’s very public conversion to Christianity. Musically, these albums have actually aged well. Yet at the time, Dylan’s heavy-handed lyrics and subject matters shocked and angered Dylan fans almost more than when he went electric at Newport ’65. This is juicy biopic material.
Could you reach out to Martin Scorsese, a longtime collaborator of Dylan’s, to discuss directing a film about an artist grappling with the tension between spirituality and material success?
Could Martin Scorsese opt for a straightforward approach and possibly select Jim Caviezel from “Sound of Freedom”, known as the contemporary Tom Cruise of Christian films, to depict a sincere Dylan? This choice might evoke similar responses as the devotional Dylan albums did years ago.
Dylan’s 1984 Letterman performance
The Plot: In terms of ’80s Dylan, nothing delights rock critics more than sharing again the era’s sacred script: an extraordinary and intriguing performance on the Letterman show where Dylan employed a local band to revamp his 1984 hit “Jokerman” from soft reggae AOR into a lively R.E.M.-style rock number. Questions abound. Was Dylan’s guitarist a stand-in for Keith Richards? Was the awkward harmonica performance intended as experimental performance art? Did this mark the moment when Dylan adopted my grandma’s hairstyle? Was Letterman even a music fan? How was such an event permitted to occur? We need answers. Let’s dig deeper.
In more casual language, you might say: “What’s the director for ‘Saturday Night’? Jason Reitman’s movie has some issues, but the idea of focusing on the events leading up to and during that iconic show could make for an engaging entry point.
“Who’s Stepping into Dylan’s Shoes This Weekend on SNL?” or “SNL’s Throwback Thursday: Bringing Back Fred Armisen as Dylan and Jason Sudeikis as Letterman, Reuniting for Another Iconic 2010 Sketch!” Both maintain the original humor and connection to SNL while hinting at a revival of the famous Larry King “Conan vs. Leno” sketch from 2010.

Dylan’s abandoned HBO slapstick comedy
Title Concept: Reviving the Abandoned Dream – The Dylan-Lewis Comedy Series
Is this production being helmed by someone other than Scott Aukerman, given that he’s not yet gearing up for a new season of “U Talkin’ U2 to Me?” focusing on each Bob Dylan album, in which case this might be an equally enticing prospect.
Who’s Playing Dylan? Bob Dylan.
