According to ananova.com, actor Heath Ledger has replaced Farrell. The director Todd Haynes is supposed to have been the one to make the change.

The columnist Roger Friedman says, "The reason for Farrell's departure is unknown."

Farrell left the rehabilitation as recent as December and was to be on of the six actors playing Dylan. The others to play the singer are Ledger, Richard Gere and Christian Bale.

The movie is titled I'm Not There and will begin shooting in the summer.

Dylan is helping by waiving his publishing income to help with the budget. Artists set to perform for the movie are The White Stripes and Aimee Mann.
