The absolute brilliance of Peter Sellers in "Being There" will contine too far out-shine the potential dullness of Cate Blanchett in "I'm Not There." Perhaps C.V. is severely lacking in admirers of Peter Sellers!

Bob Dylan has always made "self" examinations, one of his major talents, "Self Porttrait" for instance? “I’m Not There”..as a BOB fan, I make the presumption of ‘two’probable title cause’s?..Bob making the reference to:

1)I’m not in the film of me?..actors are “me” I’m Not There?

2)”I’m not there”..I’m NOT where a lot of expectant people/fans place me in adoration? idolized?

I also wonder if this is an authorized biography, and if it is, if he had control over which actors are portraying his life. I just looked at the Highway 61 Revisited cover, and it appears that Kate's lips are a little larger than his in the early years. How are they going to hide that?

But as for the quarter-decent makeup artiste, that would assume that such a person would be hired to make her look so much worse.

A quarter-decent makeup artist can fill in the rest trivially. She could easily play a younger, slightly more androgynous Dylan. I suspect that this is what the film-makers probably have in mind. -cvj Actually, if you look closely at the key structural features of the faces (structure of nose, cheekbones)… it is not that much of a stretch.
