Cate Blanchett, Colin Farrell, Adrien Brody, Richard Gere, Julianne Moore and Charlotte Gainsbourg are all being drawn towards "I'm Not There," Todd Haynes' unconventional film bio of singer Bob Dylan reports Variety.

Deals are not set, but financing on the pic is expected to coalesce in Cannes. As envisioned by Haynes ("Far from Heaven", "Velvet Goldmine"), the film follows seven characters with each embodying a different aspect of Dylan's life story and music.

It's also the first biographical feature project to secure the approval of the pop culture icon. A Fall start is scheduled.
