I’M NOT THERE
I’M NOT THERE is a film that dramatizes the life and music of Bob Dylan as a series of shifting
personae, each performed by a different actor—poet, prophet, outlaw, fake, star of electricity,
rock and roll, martyr born-again Christian—seven identities braided together, seven organs
pumping through one life story, as dense and vibrant as the era it inspired.
Arthur (Ben Wishaw), a renegade symbolist poet, serves as the film’s de facto narrator, while
being interrogated by a nameless commission as to the motivations, subversive undercurrents,
and political misreadings of his work. His witty, ironic responses provide counterpoint to the
chapters of a life that begin to unfurl.
First up, as an embodiment of Dylan’s youthful aspirations, we meet Woody (Marcus Carl
Franklin), a precocious train-hopper who, despite being 11-years-old and black, calls himself
Woody Guthrie. Set in the late 1950’s, Woody has adopted the posture and tales of the dust
bowl troubadour with a calculated earnestness. To the supporters he encounters on the road,
Woody’s tall tales of circus escapes and musical glory provide impressive evidence of his
authenticity, even as his impersonation is revealed.
But the character who first achieves success “singing about his own time” is Jack (Christian
Bale), who hits Greenwich Village and spearheads the protest-music scene of the early sixties
with his original compositions, strident performances and high-profile LPs. As the devouring
public divines a social and political consciousness in his lyrics, Jack severs ties with his
‘message’ in a bizarre retreat from both his lover and folksinging champion, Alice (Julianne
Moore) and his young worshiping audience.
Robbie (Heath Ledger), a New York actor and motorcycle enthusiast, races to counter-culture
fame with his performance in a 1965 film biography of the now-vanished Jack. Robbie’s
troubled ten-year relationship with Claire (Charlotte Gainsbourg) is chronicled from their initial
meeting in a Greenwich Village coffee shop through to their eventual separation against the
background turmoil of the Vietnam War.
While Robbie struggles to balance private life with encroaching fame, Jude (Cate Blanchett)
surrenders body and soul to a full-throttle assault on his folk music following. Closely following
Dylan’s mid-sixties adventures, Jude shocks his audience by embracing amplified rock and an
increasingly nihilistic, amphetamine-fueled persona. His new sound attracts artistic kudos from
Allen Ginsberg (David Cross), underground ingénue Coco Rivington (Michelle Williams) and
international fame, but infuriates the protest-music old guard, not to mention journalists like Mr.
Jones (Bruce Greenwood). Evading emotional attachments and basic self-preservation, Jude’s
dangerous game propels him into existential breakdown. His resurrection comes in the nick of
time: Pastor John (Christian Bale) is Jack twenty years later, a born-again Christian preacher
who has jettisoned his folk music legacy for the gospel.
Finally, the last and oldest of our characters is discovered in full retreat from the world. Billy
(Richard Gere)—no longer “the Kid”—has survived his famous showdown and found refuge in
the metaphoric town of Riddle, MO living out his days in a self-imposed exile from the past. But
when word of the town’s impending demise forces a confrontation with his old nemesis Pat
Garrett (a reincarnated Bruce Greenwood), Billy is forced to abandon his sanctuary and
continue moving on.

I’M NOT THERE
About the Production
“God, I’m glad I’m not me.”
Bob Dylan, reading an article about himself in 1965
In 2000, seeking a peaceful place to write the screenplay for Far From Heaven, Todd Haynes
left New York City and headed up to Portland, Oregon, where his sister lived. Around that time,
he found himself increasingly preoccupied with Bob Dylan. “My love for his music started in high
school, but I didn’t listen to him for many years,” says Haynes. “And I found myself curiously
coming back to him at a moment in my life where I was looking for change, though I may not
have known it yet. I’ve heard that people at crucial times in their lives can turn to Dylan to either
lose themselves or find themselves again. And I did change my life. I gave up my apartment in
New York and moved to Portland.”
“As I started to dig deep into Dylan’s biographies, I kept confronting this theme of him being this
artist who continued to unnerve his following again and again by changing who he was—
sometimes to such a degree that the people around him described it as literally shape-shifting in
front of their eyes.” As Haynes began to think about turning his Dylan obsession into a film, he
decided that the only way to tell the story was to dramatize Dylan’s metamorphoses and make
them the foundation for the story he would tell. “I wanted to have the film be composed of
different actors in completely different stories and genres, each one based on the musical
themes and characteristics of a particular period in Dylan’s life.”
Haynes was skeptical about getting the music rights, as Dylan had never given permission for a
dramatic film on his life. Since he had not been able to secure permission for David Bowie’s
music for Velvet Goldmine or Karen Carpenter’s for Superstar, Haynes and his producer,
Christine Vachon, agreed that Haynes shouldn’t proceed with the script until the issue was
resolved. They began by approaching Bob’s oldest son, filmmaker Jesse Dylan (American
Wedding, Kicking and Screaming). Meeting in Los Angeles, Haynes and Vachon described the
concept to Jesse and (by telephone) Dylan’s long-time manager, Jeff Rosen. Intrigued, Rosen
told Haynes to write it out in a one sheet description. “He told me to avoid mentioning ‘Voice of a
Generation’ or ‘Genius of Our Time’ or all those tired accolades that make him wince,” says
Haynes. “The title at that time was I’m Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Dylan. I
wrote it up and I tried to describe it in a way that made clear that it wasn’t going to be some
sellout version of his life and times.” Haynes sent out his brief treatment with minimal
expectations. A few months later, he was stunned when Rosen called and said that Dylan had
looked at the proposal and watched his films—and agreed to give the rights. But there was one
unexpected condition: Dylan also wanted Haynes to do a stage version. “I thought, ‘I just
wanted the movie rights and all of a sudden I have to do theatre and film rights at the same
time?’” says Haynes. “And I realized I couldn’t do it alone.”
Haynes invited an old friend, screenwriter Oren Moverman (Jesus’ Son, Married Life) to come to
Portland and collaborate on the theatrical adaptation of I’m Not There. “We talked about all the
cinematic styles that I was imagining for each of the stories, and tried to find theatrical
equivalents. It was inspiring and exciting, because it kept forcing me to distill what all these
different characters and their stories would look and sound like.” Eventually, Dylan’s interest in
turning I’m Not There into a theatrical property was redirected to Twyla Tharp’s Broadway show,
The Times They Are a-Changin’ and Haynes went to New York to make Far From Heaven.

Returning to Portland, Haynes went back to the script and soon found the responsibility of the
project to be extremely daunting. “I didn’t want this film to just be about who Dylan married or
what drugs he did and all those things that bio-pics relish,” he says. “I wanted to do it right.
Once I was talking with Jeff Rosen and I said, ‘This is a big honor! I feel I have to represent
Dylan to the world and I want to do it accurately and carefully!’ And Jeff just said ‘Todd, don’t
even think about that. This is your own weird interpretation of Bob Dylan and that’s all you have
to worry about.’ So I was given permission by the gatekeeper himself to explore and invent
freely.”
After he was three-quarters through a very lengthy script, Haynes invited Moverman back to
Portland to help him pull it into a final shape. “At this point he was closest to the material and
somebody I really trusted personally,” says Haynes. “I usually write my scripts alone, but it was
a joy to bring him into the process. It made finishing the script a great deal of fun.”
Some of the Dylan personas featured in I’m Not There correspond to a recognizable period and
look in Dylan’s life, whereas others are more metaphorical, blending influences, passions, and
imagery that extend over his entire career. Haynes gave free reign to his imagination in both
how he represented the various selves, and the diverse set of cinematic styles that he employed
to film them. “I wanted the film to be something that could, at some level, approach what he did
as an artist,” says Haynes. “His kind of writing, his kind of imagination, and all the tropes that
continues to influence him throughout his life. It was a tall order, but it was my goal.”
The character of Woody (played by Marcus Carl Franklin) in the film represents Dylan’s early
years as an interpreter of folk music, and in particular, his fascination with the music of Woody
Guthrie .“Listening to Woody Guthrie had a huge transformative influence on Dylan,” says
Haynes. “Not just his amazing songs, but the entire attitude and persona that emerges in his
book Bound for Glory. And Dylan immediately began to impersonate him in the way he spoke,
the way he sang, and the way he dressed. The early accounts of experiencing Bob Dylan in
Greenwich Village are filled with hilarious accounts of Dylan’s yarns about his past and where
he came from. And I thought, let’s really take that to heart and have Woody be this person that
literally claims to be Woody Guthrie—and let’s make him black. And let’s have everybody
comment on how young he is and how unlikely he is to be Woody Guthrie, but never even
mention that he’s black, the way Dylan was never really caught in his lies. So the character of
Woody’s all about the sheer force of persuasion and Dylan’s first intense aspiration and desire
to become something else.”
The character of Jack Rollins (played by Christian Bale) depicts Dylan in his first breakthrough
years as a singer-songwriter of protest music, when songs like The Times They are a-Changin’
and Blowin’ in the Wind changed the face of American folk music. Haynes presents him through
a 1980’s documentary that looks back on the legendary figure of Rollins, who walked away from
his career at the height of his success. “I wanted to accentuate the mythic qualities of Rollins,”
says Haynes. “So he’s only seen in photos and film clips, and described by the people who
knew him. He’s a figure of high moral instincts who allies himself with a very clear political
consciousness driven by the events of the civil rights movement. And I knew that Christian
would give furrow-browed intensity to Jack Rollins, something that could almost eclipse our
memories of Dylan’s face at the time. And I think he really fulfilled that.”
Later in the film the documentary discovers present day Jack Rollins had converted to
Christianity and become the pastor of a Pentecostal church in Stockton, California. Haynes
spotlights the character’s transformation by giving him a new name, Pastor John (still played by
Christian Bale). The church seen in the film is very closely patterned after the actual church that
6
Dylan joined in the late 70s, but Haynes heightens John’s transformation by making him a
minister who sings and performs for his congregation. Pastor John also sermonizes, as Dylan
did at many of the concerts he gave at the time. “I saw Dylan’s later turn to Christianity as a
moment in his life that was similar to his folk period,” says Haynes. “They were both periods
when he had the answer. It was a very different answer and a very different moment, but it
maintained the same kind of moral imperviousness. And thinking about the connections
between those two moments helped me understand his Christian conversion.”
Arthur (Ben Whishaw) is a manifestation of Dylan’s interest in Arthur Rimbaud, something that
first emerged with his 1964 album Another Side of Bob Dylan, where he began to move away
from songs that addressed large social issues and started writing about more personal things.
“That record and particularly the ones that followed it, Bringing it all Back Home and Highway 61
Revisited, made use of a much more ornate, complex and hallucinatory use of lyrical material
and references,” says Haynes. “And Dylan spoke of the influence of Rimbaud and symbolist
poetry and the Beats. And interestingly, in 1965, Dylan started to give interviews where he
answered the questions with the same kind of ironic wit, absurdist humor and poetic imagery
that you saw in his lyrics from the time. At first you think he’s evading these questions from the
press with a lot of silly talk about watermelons and umbrellas and light bulbs, until you realize
he’s actually answering them at a whole other level. So in the film, when you see Arthur,
dressed as Rimbaud, being interrogated by an unknown body of government agents, he
responds exclusively with all these great Dylanisms from 1965.”
Cate Blanchett’s character, Jude, springs from a very specific chapter in Dylan’s career,
dawning with his explosive first electric concert at Newport in the summer of 1965, moving
through his notorious concert tour in England in 1966, and ending with his motorcycle crash
later that year. It was a period when Like a Rolling Stone supplanted Blowin’ in the Wind as the
anthem of his artistic development, and the time of the first backlash from his fans. “When
Dylan plugged in his electric guitar, and garnered such hostility from his adoring folk following, it
was a test,” says Haynes. “What does an artist do when people start booing him for the first
time? Some of them will lose their grit and go back to what people liked before. Dylan used it—
he used the hostility to push him further. And you can see that in the extraordinary amount of
work he was producing, pushing himself to the limit with endless creative output and
amphetamines.” The Dylan of that era, the tangle-haired rebel gazing from the covers of
Highway 61 Revisited and Blonde on Blonde, is for most people the quintessential mental
picture they have of Dylan to this day. “That image of Dylan is so well-known and so woven
into our cultural fabric now that I felt that the sheer shock of it that people must have
experienced at that time is gone,” says Haynes. “I wanted to find a way to re-infuse it with true
strangeness—the eeriness and sexual uncertainty and diffusion. And that’s why I wanted to
have a woman play the part. And it took Cate Blanchett to transform that tall order into
something more than a cinematic stunt.”
At first Haynes considered D.A. Pennebaker’s documentary Dont Look Back as a reference for
Jude, but that film documents Dylan’s last solo acoustic tour in England the previous year, a
juncture when he was greeted by worshipful audiences as a beloved poet. “It was a different
time,” says Haynes, “I wasn’t sure that Dont Look Back was the right cinematic equivalent to the
style and feel for this particular Dylan and his work. I started watching a lot of 60s films, and it
didn’t take long to discover Fellini’s 8½, the perfect cinematic parallel. It’s a film about a director
being besieged by his fans, followers and critics, and being asked continually: ‘What do your
films mean?’ ‘Why aren’t you doing films like you used to do?’ And although there are still
scenes in backstage rooms which will be invariably compared to Dont Look Back, the Jude story
is in fact a very composed, baroque and churlishly overt tribute to mid-60’s Fellini.”

The character of Robbie (Heath Ledger), focuses on Dylan’s personal life and the central
relationship reflected in his own love songs. Set against the Vietnam era, the failures of love and
war are compared, as Robbie, a counter-culture movie actor falls in love with Claire (Charlotte
Gainsbourg), a painter. But, as the decade ensues his constant absences and his lack of
respect for her needs gradually fractures their relationship. As he had with Jude, Haynes
sought inspiration from another 60s cinema legend to tell this story. “I looked at the mid-60s
work of Jean-Luc Godard,” says Haynes, “and in his films there’s a great romanticism towards
women, but with it, at times, a quiet condescension. The women in these films are treated with
a poetic camera, but they are exempt from the political discourse that drives them. And this
double standard has been a point of discussion in some of Dylan’s songs as well. Because of
this, I wanted Charlotte Gainsbourg’s character to be something more than just one of the
women in his life, but someone who really is a testament to the cost of a high-profile career and
its output. I wanted to have a compelling woman in the film, someone that you could have a
competing sympathy for. And I reference Godard as a way of expressing that visually and
cinematically.”
The Robbie section was also a place where Haynes could speak to Dylan’s faults and present a
more layered portrait. “We all know he’s brilliant,” says Haynes. “I didn’t need to paint a puff
piece of Bob Dylan. And I thought that the conflicts and the contradictions of his personality
were more interesting than just patting him on the back. And what was remarkable was how
Dylan’s management allowed me to do that.”
Through the oldest Dylan, Billy (Richard Gere), Haynes was looking at another current that
moves throughout Dylan’s career—his interest in Country and Roots Music and American
folklore. “With Billy, the myth of Billy the Kid having survived his run-in with Pat Garrett mirrors
Dylan’s own escapes from public life, as well as his famous appearance (and music) in Sam
Peckinpah’s 1973 film Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid,” says Haynes. “But it’s here, cast in the
tobacco haze of a late 60s hippie Western, and comprised of references to Dylan’s Basement
Tapes, his Rolling Thunder Revue, and the ‘old weird America’ so much of his work draws from,
Billy is discovered in a self-imposed exile from the world. The strangely looming disturbances
he senses, just over the hill, suggest a teeming nation just beyond the hills of Woodstock. In the
end, Billy is forced out of hiding and back into the world. With the discovery of Woody’s guitar,
the cycle of shape-shifting comes full circle. And as Dylan’s own thunder continues to roll,
through his memoirs, radio-show, more definitive recordings, and his ‘never ending tour’—
Dylan’s creative shape-shifting continues as well.”
Haynes made compilations of Dylan songs for all the actors that best illustrated his vision of
their roles. “And this wasn’t only done for the Dylans,” says Haynes. “I also prepared songs for
Charlotte Gainsbourg, Michelle Williams and Julianne Moore.” Many of the actors went to the
studio to record their own tracks. “Christian did a beautiful job,” says Haynes, “but we’d already
laid down the Mason Jennings track, which I thought was stunning and a really close match for
his frame.” Marcus Carl Franklin was the only Dylan who ended up performing his own vocals
as Woody. “He blew us away,” says Haynes. “I couldn’t believe that we’d stumbled onto this
kid. He has the voice of an angel.”
Haynes original conception for the film always called for Dylan’s actual voice as an essential
continuity, binding together the various stories. In addition to that, whenever an actor would be
performing in the film he knew he had to have cover versions created. “But I also wanted to
hear some songs that weren't necessarily being performed on screen interpreted by others,” he
says. “The wide range of covers used in the film's soundtrack was an entirely collaborative
8
effort with my music supervisor, Randy Poster, who worked closely with me on the Velvet
Goldmine soundtrack. In both cases we were dealing with very specific historical subject matter,
as far as popular music and culture is concerned, material we wanted to honor in its specificity
but also allow to expand and interact with comparable traditions among contemporary artists.
And this allowed us to combine classic artists like Richie Havens, Roger McGuinn and Ramblin’
Jack Elliot, with artists less directly associated with the Dylan in the 60s, like Iggy & the
Stooges, John Doe and Sonic Youth. But as opposed to simply asking certain artists to make
covers for us—which occurred as well—Randy curated creative producers to oversee certain
sections of the film and to put together our own bands to play in them: Joe Henry produced
Richie Haven’s reworking of Tombstone Blues and John Doe’s Pressing On: Calexico’s Joey
Burns produced Goin’ To Acapulco performed by Jim James of My Morning Jacket, in addition
to songs by Willie Nelson, Roger McGuinn, Iron and Wine and Charlotte Gainsbourg. Lee
Ranaldo of Sonic Youth put together our house band The Million Dollar Bashers, which included
Tom Verlaine, Wilco’s Nels Cline, Smokey Hormel on guitar, Steve Shelley on drums, John
Medeski on keyboards, and Dylan’s current band-leader, Tony Garnier, on bass. The Million
Dollar Bashers back Stephen Malkmus covers for Cate Blanchett, Ballad of a Thin Man and
Maggie’s Farm, Verlaine’s haunting Cold Irons Bound, and Eddie Vedder’s All Along The
Watchtower. And among the many self-produced covers, Yo La Tengo contributed 4th Time
Around and I Wanna Be Your Lover and Sonic Youth produced their version of I’m Not There,
which plays under the final credits.”
To create the film’s diverse looks, Haynes collaborated closely with director of photography
Edward Lachman, who was Oscar-nominated for his work on Haynes’ Far From Heaven. “Ed
Lachman is a true artist,” says Haynes. “If you sit down and watch all the films he’s shot, no two
of them look the same. He doesn't bring any tricks to the table. Each new project begins as a
blank canvas on which to build the specific visual language appropriate to that work and that
work alone. Clearly this approach is something we share. But then, Ed has worked with Herzog,
Wenders, Godard, Fassbinder, Schrader, Kureishi, Soderbergh and Altman. He's as passionate
and devoted a cinematographer as anyone I've worked with.”
I’m Not There opens with the death of Jude, presumably in a motorcycle crash similar to the one
Dylan survived in 1966. “Dylan did die then,” says Haynes. “The Dylan of 1966 would never
come back in any shape or form. And it was reborn in 1967 as this person in a rural exile. Each
of the characters in I’m Not There is the prior character’s resurrection. They reach an impasse
at what they can do, and so their death is actually regenerative. And that’s what the idea of
freedom is for Dylan. He destroyed the idea that freedom is finding out who you really are and
staying there—that there maybe is no such thing and that true freedom is the ability, the
necessity even, to reinvent yourself.”
Dylan’s song I’m Not There was recorded during the famed 1967 Basement Tapes sessions
with The Band, but to this date has only been circulated in bootleg copies. (The song isn’t
included in the 1975 album, The Basement Tapes.) “I’m Not There is about a woman at the
very end of her abilities to cope,” says Haynes. “And the man singing is someone who’s not
there for her. There’s this guilt, regret and despair that’s moving through the song. It’s about
not being there for someone in pain and someone in need. And I love it as a metaphor of Dylan
not being physically available. The minute you try to grab hold of Dylan, he’s no longer where he
was. He’s like a flame: if you try to hold him in your hand you’ll surely get burned.”
9
“Dylan’s life of change and constant disappearances and constant transformations makes you
yearn to hold him, and to nail him down,” Haynes continues. “And that’s why his fan base is so
obsessive, so desirous of finding the truth and the absolutes and the answers to him—things
that Dylan will never provide and will only frustrate. But I think it’s why a whole generation
identifies with Dylan, maybe more than they ever did with John Lennon, or other seemingly
much friendlier or available popular figures in rock music. Dylan is difficult and mysterious and
evasive and frustrating, and it only makes you identify with him all the more as he skirts
identity.”

About the Filmmakers
Todd Haynes / Director & Co-Writer

Story, used Barbie dolls as actors to trace the demise from anorexia of the singer, and has gone
on to become an underground cult classic. Haynes’ first feature, Poison (1991), was awarded
the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance in 1991. Haynes’ next film was Dottie Gets Spanked, a short
film which The Village Voice hailed as “A Pop Art vision of ‘50s suburbia.” His second feature,
Safe (1994), was named Best Film of the Year by leading critics at The Boston Globe, Film
Comment, and Interview Magazine, among others. The Village Voice went even further, naming
it the best film of the 90s. Safe also marked the first of Haynes’ collaborations with widely
celebrated actress Julianne Moore.
Haynes’ third feature was the potent rock drama Velvet Goldmine (1997), starring Ewan
McGregor, Jonathan Rhys-Meyers, Christian Bale and Toni Collette. The New York Times
described Goldmine as “dazzlingly surreal,” and the Cannes Film Festival honored the film with
an award for Best Artistic Contribution. Far From Heaven (2002) Haynes’ fourth feature was the
single best-reviewed film of 2002. Starring Julianne Moore, Dennis Quaid and Dennis Haysbert,
