"I'm Not There" aka "I'm Not There: Suppositions on a Film Concerning Dylan"

The track listing for the new Todd Haynes directed Bob Dylan biopic, "I'm Not There," has been posted on Vinyl Fever. The film, which follows the life of the singer at different periods of his career, features six different actors playing the lead in each phase, including Heath Ledger, Christian Bale, Richard Gere, Marcus Carl Franklin, Ben Wishaw and Cate Blanchett (featured in the picture to the left). Other names of note featured in the film are David Cross (of the sorely missed Arrested Development) as Allen Ginsberg, and the late great Woody Guthrie, being played by the relatively unknown, Garth Gilker. It is slated for a limited US release on November 21, 2007 There has been some buzz from a while about this film and it's unconventional approach.

The immense soundtrack, which looks incredible promising, is set to be released on October 30, which will surely fan the flames as the movies release date approaches. The track list is posted below (in alphabetical order), and includes the Dylan rarity, "I'm Not There," a Basement Tapes Sessions gem which has never been officially released.
