How does it feel?

Up in Cape May, New Jersey, movie producers are asking that wonderful little beachside town to play the part of Newport, Rhode Island in the film "A Complete Unknown." 

Anyone with anything on Dylan will remember that in 1965, the sage of Hibbing, Minnesota was just blossoming into wide public fame, and his legend really blew up that summer after he appeared at the Newport Folk Festival playing an electric guitar.

Folk music purists objected to having their music amplified to the point of being heard, as Mike Bloomfield (lead guitar) and Al Kooper (organ) plugged in and gave birth to what came to be called "Folk-Rock."

Chalamet as Dylan

And that's the scenario that will be re-enacted in dear old Cape May this week, with Timothée Chalamet, fresh off his success in the big blockbuster sequel "Dune: Part Two" playing Dylan. Supporting roles are being filled by Elle Fanning (so memorable as a girl from Plainville in "The Girl from Plainville"), Edward Norton (he's from around here and is a major Orioles fan), Benedict Cumberbatch (I believe there is some sort of law that requires him to have a role in every movie these days), and Nick Offerman (he seems cranky). 

The picture does not have a release date as of yet, but I will skip right over "Dune: Part Two" and get in line to see it.

Not THIS Ed Norton!
