It was posted a week or two ago the Heath Ledger was replacing Colin Farrell in the Bob Dylan movie that is being made. Well, latest news is that Michelle Williams has joined the cast. Six different people will play Bob (Heath is one of them) including Cate Blanchett. Hmmmm....
Williams, Ledger rocking in Bob Dylan movie

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - After working together in "Brokeback Mountain," Oscar-nominated couple Heath Ledger and Michelle Williams have joined the all-star cast of the Bob Dylan movie "I'm Not There."
Ledger, who replaces Colin Farrell, would play one of seven actors representing the different aspects of Dylan's life story and music. Williams is set as Coco Rivington, a model with whom an androgynous folk star (Cate Blanchett) is taken. Also cast are Christian Bale, Julianne Moore and Richard Gere.
The film's co-writer/director Todd Haynes ("Velvet Goldmine") and Killer Films principal Christine Vachon persuaded Dylan to assign them the rights to his life story and music two years ago. The first biographical screenplay about Dylan is set to go before the cameras in July in Montreal.
Ledger and Williams received Oscar nominations this year for their performances in Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain."

I was already interested in this movie, but now seeing who the director is I'm even more excited! I loved Velvet Goldmine, this should be interesting!

That is one kick-ass cast -- even without Ledger and Williams. Ledger alone just makes it 10x better. It's kind of peculiar, however, that they'll be working together again so soon. I certainly don't mind it though.
