In today’s NY Post, the estimable Queen of Gossip, Cindy Adams, is “trying to keep up with all the Dylans.”

SO, the screening of “I’m Not There,” the new movie on the life of Bob Dylan. It’s six people including Cate Blanchett playing Bob Dylan . . . listen, don’t ask . . .

Richard Gere, one Dylan, explained it to me this way: “I’m sort of Dylan. It’s expressionistic. The character I play is not really anything. It’s mostly a feeling. The problem was, how to portray a feeling. My job was to find a way to make that specific.” Yeah, sure. Now I get it.

Heath Ledger, another Dylan, explained it to me this way: “I play him with all his different attitudes. I portray the differentiation between his personal and professional life.” Right, absolutely. Now it’s clear.

Producer Christine Vachon explained it to me this way: “Dylan had the ability to change completely. Shed skin like a snake. So this was done differently, using the guise of the different Dylans, because we all have biopic fatigue.” Hey, OK for me if it’s OK for you.
