Trailer: Timothée Chalamet Is Bob Dylan In James Mangold’s A COMPLETE UNKNOWN
Director James Mangold knows a thing or two about music biopics, having directed the acclaimed Walk The Line, a film about the life of Johnny Cash starring Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon. Now, almost 20 years later Mangold is back on the music trail with A Complete Unknown – a new film about the early musical career of Bob Dylan starring Timothée Chalamet.
This early teaser just gives a flavour of what the film entails – but it seems solid enough – even if Chalamet looks a little too pretty to be playing the artist formerly known as Robert Zimmerman. He sounds good though – if that is indeed his voice doing the singing.
Movies In Focus is a big Dylan fan – I’ve seen him live twice – so I’m very intrigued to see how A Complete Unknown turns out. I hope it’s good.I really do.
Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Norbert Leo Butz, Dan Fogler, and Scoot McNairy star in A Complete Unknown, which hits screens later in 2024.
The Synopsis:
Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A COMPLETE UNKNOWN follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician BOB DYLAN’s (Timothée Chalamet) meteoric rise as a folk singer to concert halls and the top of the charts – his songs and mystique becoming a worldwide sensation – culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
