Breaking News: Timothée Chalamet channels Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown’ trailer, see more…
The highly anticipated Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, directed by James Mangold and starring Timothée Chalamet as the legendary musician, is set to hit theatres on December 25.
The film will premiere on the same day as Robert Eggers’ remake of Nosferatu and a week after Disney’s Mufasa: The Lion King.
A Complete Unknown chronicles Dylan’s early life and times, starting with his arrival in Greenwich Village in the early 1960s as a 19-year-old from Minnesota, which sparks an “upheaval in the folk community” when he switches to an electric guitar in 1965.
The first trailer, released in July, showcases Chalamet (who does his singing) performing a powerful version of A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall and visiting iconic locations like Cafe Wha? and Hotel Chelsea.
The screenplay for A Complete Unknown was adapted by James Mangold and Jay Cocks from Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric.
The film’s title is inspired by Bob Dylan’s iconic song Like a Rolling Stone.
