Timothée Chalamet To Film Exciting New Movie At The Jersey Shore

This is cool!  Hollywood Star Timothee Chalamet to film new movie at the Jersey Shore next month.  What's even cooler, it's the new Bob Dylan biopic.

The film is called A Complete Unknown, and Timothee Chalamet stars as legendary singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.  The movie will reportedly be filming in Cape May next month and it's supposed to be depicting the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

The 1965 Newport Folk Festival was the first time Bob Dylan played an electric guitar onstage, angering some fans over his switch from acoustic folk to rock-and-roll. The Newport Folk Festival is an annual American folk-oriented music festival in Newport, Rhode Island, which began in 1959 as a counterpart to the Newport Jazz Festival.

It's THE place where musicians go to showcase their talents and was the "scene" in the folk music space for 60 years.  The Newport Jazz Festival made news back in 2022 when Joni Mitchell finally returned to the stage on July 24, 2022, after a 53-year absence, and this was even after her stroke.

Also, you could be a part of the film!  According to NJ.com, a casting agency is looking for New Jersey residents to act as extras during the filming of the festival scenes.

New York casting agency Grant Wilfley Casting has posted a casting call looking for "Cape May locals" to work as extras in a feature film shooting in Cape May from May 12-16. The agency said the scenes would "take place in 1965 at a concert." According to the post, the extras must be "okay working around smoke, ok working interior or exterior, okay with period-appropriate haircut and/or facial hair, have no allergies to wool.  Pay ranges from $176 - $208 depending on if you're in SAG-AFTRA

He starred in Wonka, Dune Part One, Dune Part Two, Interstellar, and Call Me By Your Name just to name a few.  I have a feeling he will be nominated for an Oscar for this role as well.
