James Mangold, the director of the Bob Dylan biopic fronted by Timothee Chalamet, says the Oscar-nominated actor will do his own singing for the upcoming film.

The filmmaker spoke to an entertainment portal at London’s Star Wars Celebration about the much-anticipated movie. When asked whether Chalamet will sing for the film, Mangold replied with an emphatic, “Of course!” Based on the book, Dylan Goes Electric by Elijah Wald, the Searchlight Pictures feature will chart the Nobel laureate’s switch from folk to rock music. Mangold described the film as “an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene”.
