A movie with the wonderful director James Mangold about a young Bob Dylan coming to New York in 1961,&#8221; Isaac. &#8220;And my first thought, &#8216;It sounds like a really bad idea.&#8217; I mean, it&#8217;s Dylan. It&#8217;s the holy of holies for me. It just didn&#8217;t sound right.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>But Isaac&#8217;s opinion changed after he heard Chalamet sing.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Then Timmy takes out his guitar \u2014 not a good sign \u2014 and starts playing &#8216;Girl from the North Country,'&#8221; Isaac said. &#8220;Now, this is a song I know deeply, to my core, and Josh, Stephen and I, we&#8217;re not your average Timmy Chalamet groupies. We&#8217;re grizzled movie vets. We&#8217;ve seen some s***.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Isaac finished his speech with kind words for Chalamet and Mangold.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;James and Timoth\u00e9e have approached this work with a mix of humility and irreverence, just like Dylan approached the Great American Songbook, probing familiar forms to rediscover the truth of the present moment,&#8221; Isaac said.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright \u00a9 2024, ABC Audio.
