Calling all Bob Dylan fans.

A casting call for a new Bob Dylan video has been unveiled, and it's about as typical as you can expect: a rougher version of old-school Hollywood.

According a Billboard report, the video is being directed by Nash Edgerton, who has worked with Dylan on the videos for "Must Be Santa Claus", "Beyond Here Lies Nothin'" and "Duquesne Whistle".

The music video casting call genuinely reads:

[DANCER] Female, 40+, full figured. Burlesque dancer, will need to dance in audition. Think timeless a la Lana Turner or Ava Gardner.

[SKETCHY GUY] 50s, rough trade, pock marked face, etc.

[FAT GUY] 45+, all around huge.

[BARTENDER] Male, 30s+, looking for characters.

Billboard says that the video is due to shoot in Los Angeles imminently.
