InMangolds Cash biopicWalk the Line, Joaquin Phoenix gave a very brooding and intense performance as Cash.

But,while Cashs role in the film serves an important dramatic purpose, its almost entirely fabricated.

It was here that Cash gave Dylan his guitar.

Was this based on a real incident?

Cash wasnt atDylans 1965 Newport performance.

Mangold was so moved by the letters that he decided to include them in the film.

The letters that appear in the movie aretaken word-for-word from Dylan and Cashs correspondence.

Holbrook read these letters and found them to be a great insight into what made them tick.

Boyd Holbrook previously worked with James Mangold onLoganandIndiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.
