Rock Daily is clearly fascinated with, Todd Haynes’ Bob Dylan-inspired I’m Not There. Plus, in an interview in today’s New York Times, indie-film bigwig Harvey Weinstein, whose Weinstein Company will distrbute I’m Not There, explains how fans will be able to get to see the movie — slowly, over time. On November 21st, it will open on four screens in New York and Los Angeles (Film Forum and Lincoln Plaza in New York; Westside Pavilion and ArcLight Cinemas in LA) before eventually hitting one hundred American cities. “With a movie like this you have to build it,” said Weinstein. “I like the movie; I think it’s adventurous. The audience is going to have to work — work in a good way.” And Weinstein thinks one of the film’s Dylans should be preparing an Oscar acceptance speech: “I may be jumping the gun,” Weinstein said, “But if Cate Blanchett doesn’t get nominated, I’ll shoot myself.” As Rock Daily can attest, Blanchett delivers a pretty extraordinary performance.
