Oh. Canada. : Haynes Flees North, Takes Dylan Quasi-Biopic With Him

Word just over the Reeler HQ transom reports that director Todd Haynes will finally get his long-awaited Bob Dylan film I'm Not There rolling this Monday, July 31. That is the "good" news. The "bad" news is that Haynes is taking himself, the crew and the whole goddamned cast portraying Dylan ("six actors play the iconic singer-songwriter in his different life-guises," the latest release says) up to Montreal to shoot the film. This means no Cate Blanchett-as- Dylan sightings around the Village and at least two or three weeks without Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams and Baby Matilda cute-ifying the hell out Brooklyn. Even David Cross has to leave the East Village for a few days to supply his supporting role.

I mean, David Cross? Will this ruthless nation stop at nothing to defeat us?
