[edit] Unencyclopedic

This article currently boasts a very non-encyclopedic writing style. Lines like "Bob Dylan will provide all the non-original music for the film of course", for instance. Thus, the overhaul.--65.175.223.122 04:15, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

I'm confused as to how Cate Blanchett will be playing Bob Dylan...

The same way what's her face played a man in that 90s movie. -24.92.43.153 19:09, 7 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Oren

Can anybody help me with Oren Moverman's article?-User:M.Naff

[edit] Segmented?

I wonder if this is going to be a segmented movie? Why? I went to wikipedia and found that the actors playing Bob Dylan will also play other characters.- User:M.Naff 9:23 pm, 5 April 2007

[edit] Comment moved from article

Hi Wikipedia: I would take out the Yahoo Link since the information on that page is so outdated.

I would suggest change this wording: Actors also officially signed on to star at present include Adrien Brody, David Cross, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams.

Uh no he didn't.

for:

Adrien Brody, David Cross, Charlotte Gainsbourg, Julianne Moore and Michelle Williams will also appear in this movie.

and finally I would update this sentence: It began filming in late July 2006 in Montreal, Quebec, Canada.

for this sentence: Filming was done in Summer/Fall 2007. The movie is now in post-production. It is rumored that the movie will be shown at the International Film Festival of Toronto, Canada in September 2007. Theatrical release is expected to be on September 21, 2007.

(Note to Wikipedia: although I said "rumors", it is very likely. The only other option would be that it is presented in Venice, Italia first, but that's unlikely.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.200.176.51 (talk • contribs) 22:58, April 29, 2007

[edit] Blanchett as dylan?

Huh? Is that right? Why would she be playing a man? -albrozdude 06:43, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Have you seen this clip:[1]?

[edit] Bob Dylan 'iconic'

That's such a strange word to use about a person and I wonder what is really meant. Can anyone justify its use? Alpheus (talk) 10:13, 17 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Songs not on the soundtrack

Many songs were featured in the film but are not on the soundtrack. Does anyone have a list of these songs? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.61.82.140 (talk) 00:32, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

The so called soundtrack album is a puzzling collection of covers but perhaps one should take the title at face value. The total playing time for the 2CDs is 2.5 hours and perhaps 1/10 is actually heard. Don't forget that film is n_o_t about Dylan's music even if it impossible without it.

[edit] release dates

this article is missing any info on when the movie might be released to a wider audience. Is such information out yet? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.117.59.17 (talk) 05:01, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Plot Summary?

Anyone game enough to attempt this? I saw the film last night, but think I'll have to watch it a second time to get a better understanding. phocks (talk) 02:27, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Move Soundtrack to its own page

Could someone more knowledgable than me move the soundtrack to its own page. I tried and the page got deleted saying I didn't move the page history etc and something about five authors, blah blah blah. Whatever. The thing is most soundtracks have their own page. Would someone move this it its own page please? berenlazarus. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Berenlazarus (talkcontribs) 23:49, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

The following discussion is an archived discussion of the proposal. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the proposal was move. Uncontroversial, didn't need discussion. No reason was for provided for the original move in the first place and this is the obvious place for it. --kingboyk (talk) 15:54, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Requested move

I'm Not There.I'm Not There — This move requests deleting the full stop on the end of the title. I realise that the full stop is there in the film's on-screen title. And I realise the Internet Movie Database therefore includes a full stop. However, on Wikipedia our policy is to use the common name, rather than be excessively pendantic. It's always referred to in print without the full stop (and indeed on the poster). —Cop 663 (talk) 13:59, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

  • Support. Common name has no fullstop. Andrewa (talk) 00:19, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. Probably a typo.--Yamanbaiia(free hugs!) 00:23, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. In the spirit of MOS:TM, use standard English text formatting. --Paul Erik (talk)(contribs) 05:39, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support. The poster has no period, and it's not commonly known to have one! -Werideatdusk33 (talk) 06:45, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
  • Support, especially since in the article we aren't currently using the period. It perhaps should open with
I'm Not There (or I'm Not There.) is a movie...
in order to show the alternate spelling. — brighterorange (talk) 07:30, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] song during writing scene?

that song playing in the background while cate blanchett is writing a song on the typewriter... what is it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.0.67.101 (talk) 21:31, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Heath Ledger

I daresay that Heath Ledger is not most famous for his portrayal of Jack Rollins but for his role in "Brokeback Mountain" which brought him an Oscar nomination. Or am I wrong here? --190.21.31.146 (talk) 06:16, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
