In the first peek from the set, Timothée is spotted wearing an orange scarf and a paperboy hat, carrying a mustard yellow backpack, all wrapped up with gloves and a thick green jacket. It looks like a snowy day in New York for the young Bob Dylan. And, as expected, he's carrying his guitar too.
A vintage-looking car drove past him, adding to the scene for the biopic. It's said to be about Dylan's move to electric guitar in the '60s and his rise to folk music fame.
