The Bob Dylan world is buzzing with anticipation, bated breath, and maybe some pleasure upon the discharge earlier this week of the primary official “teaser trailer” for the upcoming Dylan biopic, A Full Unknown, directed by James Mangold (Stroll the Line, Ford v. Ferrari) and starring Timothée Chalamet (Dune, Name Me By Your Title) because the younger Dylan. Filming solely simply ended earlier this month; the film is anticipated to get a theatrical launch towards the top of this yr or early in 2025.

The biopic just isn’t a whole life story, however quite hones in on Dylan’s early years, from his arrival in New York Metropolis’s Greenwich Village in 1961 via his well-known — or notorious, relying upon your perspective — look on the 1965 Newport People Competition. There, he carried out with a plugged-in rock band for the very first time, surprising the viewers, his followers, and the world at giant, which till that second had thought of Dylan an acoustic-folk artist. 

Whereas the discharge of the brief, two-minute trailer doesn’t reveal a lot concerning the tone of the movie, it definitely succeeds in “teasing” viewers with recommendations about the way it intends to inform Dylan’s story. It apparently recounts Dylan’s journey from a whole unknown Midwesterner, newly arrived within the Village, to worldwide fame as “the voice of a technology” who married a classy poetic strategy to songwriting with a social and political consciousness in songs that made their method to the highest of the pop charts, together with “Blowin’ within the Wind,” “Mr. Tambourine Man,” and “Like a Rolling Stone.”

Brief clips within the trailer embody a number of scenes that includes actor Edward Norton taking part in Pete Seeger. Then it cuts to a scene that includes Chalamet/Dylan onstage, shot from the rear for optimum dramatic impact, with a highlight casting a glow upon the actor, seen principally in silhouette. Chalamet, who does his personal singing within the film, is performing “A Laborious Rain’s a-Gonna Fall,” in a reasonably convincing imitation of Dylan. 

Brief, out-of-sequence pictures of Dylan discover him strolling the streets of Greenwich Village carrying his guitar, adopted by scenes capturing the budding romance between Dylan and Suze Rotolo, right here given the identify Sylvie Russo and performed by Ellie Fanning, with no try made to make the ginger-haired Fanning appear to be the real-life, brunette Rotolo. Minimize to scenes of Dylan watching a younger Joan Baez (performed by Monica Barbaro), who was already well-known as “the Queen of People,” and the 2 of them stealing kisses backstage. Quickly, Dylan joins Baez onstage as a particular visitor, the 2 taking part in out their very own incipient romance for all of the world to see, a teary-eyed Fanning, now simply one other member of the viewers.

The trailer raises extra questions than it solutions. How a lot of the narrative goes to concentrate on Dylan’s relationship with the Suze Rotolo character and Joan Baez on the expense of portraying Dylan’s inventive improvement? These sorts of biographical films usually forefront the romantic dramas on the expense of exploring the interior workings of the primary character. (See Bradley Cooper’s Leonard Bernstein biopic, Maestro.) The trailer additionally gives no clue as to the relative wit of the film dialogue. 

Maybe most significantly, how will the film (and Chalamet) painting Dylan himself? Will it solid its hero as a divinely impressed prophet, or will it emphasize his blind ambition and his human foibles? Given how little we actually learn about Dylan the person — regardless of his being the topic of a number of hundred books and dozens of  films — how would one even go about making such choices?

One newly revealed clue is that Bob Dylan is listed as an govt producer of the movie, and in a current interview in Rolling Stone, director Mangold says he was in frequent contact with the Nobel Prize-winner. If that’s the case, how a lot stress will Dylan exert on the way in which he’s portrayed within the closing reduce? And does it actually matter?

On the planet of ardent Dylan followers and so-called Dylanologists, there has all the time been nice skepticism about this movie, courting again 4 years to the earliest studies of its manufacturing. This skepticism ranged from grumbling concerning the suitability of Chalamet for the function to grumbling about Mangold’s monitor file as a maker of biopics. Whereas his Johnny Money movie, Stroll the Line, was a lot lauded, the movie’s emphasis was not on Money the musician, however as a substitute on Money’s private struggles. 

There may be additionally the query of why. Why even make this film? There isn’t a dearth of Dylan on movie, particularly in documentaries overlaying the identical period, together with D.A. Pennebaker’s Dont Look Again and Murray Lerner’s Competition, which incorporates footage of Dylan’s infamous efficiency on the 1965 Newport People Competition. Dylan turned the digital camera on himself a number of occasions all through his profession, in movies together with Eat the Doc, Renaldo and Clara, and Masked and Nameless. 

The query stays, how can one seize the essence of Bob Dylan in a traditional Hollywood drama? Dylan has all the time been so elusive and enigmatic that such an effort appears certain to fail. The one profitable try at portraying Dylan in all his multitudes was Todd Haynes’s 2007 movie, I’m Not There, by which six totally different actors portrayed Dylan — most memorably Cate Blanchett, who portrayed the 1965/1966-era Dylan. The film’s non-linear narrative and its shifting factors of view echoed a few of Dylan’s personal narrative methods in track. Additionally, the movie was co-written by Haynes and filmmaker Oren Moverman, and between the 2 they appear to have watched each body of each Dylan look and browse each interview Dylan ever gave; that authenticity is baked into the movie. 

Based mostly on a two-minute trailer of a movie that hasn’t even but been accomplished, it’s too quickly to render judgment on the hassle. The trailer definitely has sparked curiosity amongst many and helped prime most of the people for what is going to doubtless be a highly regarded film when it’s launched. Chalamet and Fanning are fairly good bets for Oscar nominations; that’s simply the way in which Hollywood works. 

As for shining a lightweight on Bob Dylan, we will count on a slew of tales about his early years to accompany the discharge of the movie. And we will solely hope that we don’t go away film theaters muttering beneath our breath, like Dylan in his track “Frankie Lee and Judas Priest,” that “nothing is revealed.”

Hannah Inexperienced didn’t really feel like she had her greatest stuff on day one of many CPKC Ladies’s Open, however the five-time LPGA Tour winner hung powerful in Calgary, Alberta, carding a 3-under 69 to open her week at Earl Gray Golf Membership.

Inexperienced bought off to a quiet begin on Thursday, parring her first 4 holes earlier than selecting up a pair of back-to-back birdies on holes 5 and 6 to maneuver to 2-under. The Australian then made seven straight pars earlier than grabbing one other birdie on the par-5 14th gap to get to 3-under, however she bogeyed the fifteenth to drop again to 2-under for the event.

After a par on 16, Inexperienced managed to snag one ultimate birdie on the par-3 seventeenth gap to shut out her opening 69, a efficiency that has put the Rolex Ladies’s World Golf Rankings No. 6 in a tie for second early in Canada, one shot again of first-round chief Lauren Coughlin.

“With how I used to be driving the ball, I did not count on it in any respect. I solely hit 4 fairways immediately and one in every of them was with a 5-iron. Wasn’t how I deliberate out the spherical,” mentioned Inexperienced. “However I made a variety of actually good putts immediately. Lots of actually clutch par putts. Lots of very lengthy putts that maybe may have been a really large change in how the momentum was within the spherical.

“However I felt unhealthy. I used to be taking part in with Megan Khang, and she or he performed strong and she or he could not discover the opening, and I used to be holing 40-footers, 30-footers. It was difficult on the market. There have been some fairly robust gusts generally the place you needed to be sure you have been hitting the appropriate shot with the wind. I’m simply tremendous completely happy to be below par this afternoon.”

That is Inexperienced’s fifth time teeing it up within the CPKC Ladies’s Open, and in her 4 prior appearances on this occasion, she has missed one lower and earned one top-10 end, tying for fourth within the 2023 version of the event, which was held at Shaughnessy Golf and Nation Membership.

This week marks her thirteenth begin of the 2024 LPGA Tour season, and it has been a powerful yr up to now for the 27-year-old. Inexperienced collected her fourth Tour title in simply her second begin of the yr on the HSBC Ladies’s World Championship in early March after which efficiently defended a title for the primary time in her LPGA Tour profession in April on the JM Eagle LA Championship introduced by Plastpro. She is the one different participant moreover Nelly Korda, who has claimed six victories this season, to have earned a number of wins in 2024.

Inexperienced additionally has 5 different top-25 outcomes to her credit score in 2024, together with a runner-up outcome on the Mizuho Americas Open that noticed the Aussie virtually outlast Korda in a gritty head-to-head battle at Liberty Nationwide Golf Membership and a tie for sixteenth on the U.S. Ladies’s Open introduced by Ally at Lancaster Nation Membership, Inexperienced’s season-best end in a serious championship.

That consistency seems to have crossed the Canadian border with Inexperienced – at the very least by means of day one in Calgary, Alberta, anyway – and whereas no golf event is ever gained on a Thursday, Inexperienced’s strong begin might be indicative of extra success to come back for the Aussie over the subsequent three rounds.

In line with KPMG Efficiency Insights, out of all 4 rounds, Inexperienced has gained the least quantity of strokes on the sphere within the first spherical (+0.56) all through the course of the season, one thing additional evidenced by the truth that she has solely opened with a spherical within the 60s 4 different instances this season, most just lately doing so on the Cognizant Founders Cup, the place Inexperienced in the end tied for 18th.

However there are nonetheless three rounds to play at what’s proving to be a troublesome Earl Gray Golf Membership, and though she is having fun with the venue to date in Canada, Inexperienced is aware of she must get some relaxation and tweak just a few issues forward of her second spherical to organize to sort out one other problem on day two on the CPKC Ladies’s Open.

“I really feel exhausted already, and it is solely spherical one. I feel as a result of I used to be far and wide and I used to be scrambling. It’s powerful on the market,” mentioned Inexperienced. “Earl Gray has been very nice to play. Now we have bought a little bit of selection on this golf course, which I like. There are some shorter holes that are not essentially all the time simpler, and I actually get pleasure from that as a result of I feel we now have a variety of that in Australia, so it virtually appears like taking part in at house. This course jogs my memory of Blythefield, Meijer. I’m actually liking it right here to date.”

Hayes insists the workforce won’t be burdened by the reminiscence of its early exit from the World Cup. “I feel this workforce is firmly centered on … creating a brand new historical past collectively,” Hayes stated in a press convention. “Our motivation isn’t all the time about righting the wrongs. Removed from it. We’re excited. We’re ready.”

Not like the lads’s event, the ladies’s soccer competitors on the Olympics just isn’t age-restricted, which means the groups competing on the Video games are at full power.

Defending gold medalists Canada have been mired in controversy this week after being accused of utilizing a drone to spy on the coaching session of their first opponents New Zealand. Spain can be anticipated to be within the combine for gold, having received the World Cup final 12 months.

Skilled captain Lindsey Horan will likely be essential to the USWNT’s possibilities, whereas defender Naomi Girma had a breakthrough 12 months in 2023 being named USWNT participant of the 12 months.

Plus tôt ce matin, nous vous rapportions que le journaliste et insider Jeff Marek aurait quitté Sportsnet abruptement durant le weekend du repêchage de la LNH pour des raisons inconnues et qu’il ne serait pas de retour à l’antenne du réseau.

On se rappellera que Marek était sur place lors de la couverture télé et interviewait les jeunes espoirs sélectionnés après leur descente du podium, puis a semblé soudainement disparaître lors du weekend.

De plus, quelques jours plus tard, lors de la parution du populaire podcast 32 Ideas, le journaliste et insider Elliotte Friedman était curieusement seul à l’animation pour faire le résumé du repêchage. Aucun signe de vie du podcast depuis, alors que Marek n’a rien publié sur les réseaux sociaux non plus.

Le website Day by day Hive est allé aux sources et a contacté le réseau.

Un représentant de Sportsnet a confirmé cet après-midi que Marek n’était officiellement plus à l’emploi avec eux, ne précisant pas cependant s’il avait démissionné ou s’il avait été congédié.

Dans tous les cas, il s’agit d’une énorme perte pour le réseau et d’une véritable onde de choc dans le monde du hockey puisqu’il est l’un des journalistes et insiders les plus respectés dans la LNH.

Plus de détails suivront.
