Don’t believe the new trailer for Todd Haynes’ “I’m Not There.” Sure it says Christian Bale, Cate Blanchett, Richard Gere, and Heath Ledger all are Bob Dylan. But at least one of the stars disagrees.

“There is no Dylan in it,” Gere told me a couple days ago. And that reason, for one, is why the icon will like it, Gere believes. “I think he’ll like it because it’s not attempting to be him. It’s a fever dream. I think that’s probably the only way you could tell the story of an artist that extraordinary.”

Gere said he’s seen the film and likes it a lot, calling it “a bizarre script” and “much more expressionistic than people are thinking.”

Count me in. And if you’re doubting Gere’s endorsement, check out the trailer after the jump.
