Plus there's Richard Gere as Billy the Kid, lifted from Dylan's appearance in Sam Peckinpah's western "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid.". The most talked-about performance in the film is sure to be Cate Blanchett as Jude Quinn, Dylan's post-folk personality. (University News, MO)

I'm Not There an impressionistic portrait of Bob Dylan Dec 1, 2007
Richard Gere, the film's biggest mistake, plays Billy, who is Dylan as Billy the Kid, representing his country music phase and his appearance in the 1973 Sam Peckinpah movie about the famous outlaw. Cowboy Dylan, who lives in a town called Riddle, seems incidental to his career and Gere is too familiar a face for this project, bringing his own movie-star baggage to the role. (Canada.com)
Ondaatje nabs his 5th Governor General's Award Nov 29, 2007
Ondaatje praised the GGs for taking risks with edgy works, calling to mind that he was only 27 when he won his first GG for The Collected Works of Billy the Kid, "which led to the trauma of buying my first suit.". In addition to the usual thank-you list of friends and editors, Ondaatje expressed his gratitude towards the fictional characters in Divisadero "who kept me company on a daily basis for the last five years.".

Six Bob Dylan characters in search of an author Nov 22, 2007
Richard Gere has the misfortune of appearing in the film's most deadly dull scenes, as the older Dylan, presented here as Billy the Kid, trapped inside some latter-day version of the 1973 movie "Pat Garrett the Kid." In keeping with the scrupulousness with which he approaches everything, Haynes makes sure these scenes have the look, the color saturation and cinematic style of a 1970s film. But noting that is not the same as enjoying it. (San Francisco Chronicle)
'I'm Not There:' The multiple faces of Bob Dylan, reinvented Nov 22, 2007
Not one is named Bob Dylan (or Robert Zimmerman), though all of them evoke actual and invented points in the Dylan cosmos: Billy the Kid, Woody Guthrie, the Mighty Quinn. They're not all musicians: One is a poet named Arthur Rimbaud; another is a movie star. (International Herald Tribune -- Arts)
'I'm Not There': Too Much Of Nothing, By Kurt Loder Nov 22, 2007
Most dismal of all is the extended allusion at the end of the picture to Sam Peckinpah's "Pat Garrett & Billy the Kid," the 1973 movie in which Dylan made his first appearance as an actor (and to the soundtrack of which he contributed the transcendent "Knockin' on Heaven's Door"). Here the Dylan role is taken on by Richard Gere, of all people, and the rambling storyline shuffles past the point of tedium into a complete shambles. (VHI.com -- Music News)
'I'm Not There' captures the elusive rock icon Bob Dylan Nov 21, 2007
Haynes shoots the Blanchett sequences in a gritty black and white (aping the look of D.A. Pennebaker's 1967 Dylan film "Don't Look Back," with a few nods to Fellini) and the Bale section as a sub-Scorsese rock doc, but the Billy scenes are done up as a 1970s revisionist western - Altman's "McCabe & Mrs. Miller" by way of "Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid," in which the singer appeared. Some commentators have found the Gere bits the weakest link in "I'm Not There," but if you know the films and you... (Boston Globe)

Richard Gere plays an Old West drifter, possibly Billy the Kid, who seems to be in a whole different movie. Best of all is Cate Blanchett as the 1960s Don't Look Back Dylan, doing a cunning, androgynous impersonation, even if realism is rarely the point in this movie. (The Palm Beach Post)
Many Faces Of Dylan Nov 18, 2007
Dylan's fractured psyche is fleshed out by Heath Ledger's turn as the harried musician with a crumbling marriage, Richard Gere's depiction of Dylan as Billy the Kid, Christian Bale showing Dylan's stint as a born-again Christian, Ben Whishaw as "Arthur" and Dylan as a young black kid played by Marcus Carl Franklin. In some ways, Dylan is a strange choice for a feature movie: His creative output has been far outpaced by the documentation of that output, and that's saying a lot for a man who, as...

A fresh coat of gloss Nov 17, 2007
The recent rejigging of that movie, much like the (admittedly much improved) 1990s re-edit of his Pat Garrett And Billy The Kid, cannot legitimately be called the "director's cut." They are someone else's best approximation, but they are at least honourable endeavours, while Blade Runner 3. 0 seems like a ruthless foray into the wallets of gullible sci-fi geeks.

Oh, and the head vampire is Billy the Kid why not.
