In celebration of the 21st anniversary of “Masked and Anonymous,” we’re diving into the creation of Bob Dylan’s star-studded 2003 film with interviews from actors Jeff Bridges, Luke Wilson, director Larry Charles and producer Nigel Sinclair. The film follows Dylan's character Jack Fate, a legendary singer just out of prison and wrangled into performing at a benefit concert planned by slimy promoters while revolution stirs across the country. Dylan and Charles co-wrote the free-ranging script, and filming wrapped in less than one month. As Charles recalls in our video, featuring previously unseen images, “Bob Dylan was really the casting director. And once the word got out that Bob Dylan was making a movie, everybody wanted to get involved.” Wilson also discusses Dylan's ongoing creative drive, noting, “You never know whether it’s writing like 'Chronicles' or doing the painting or the sculpture, you don’t know if it’s a break from the songwriting and the performing on stage, or if it’s fueling it.” Watch the video for more details on the making of this one-of-a-kind film.
