As a die-hard Bob Dylan fan, I can hardly contain my excitement upon seeing the first trailer for A Complete Unknown, the highly anticipated biopic about the legendary folk artist. The sight of Timothée Chalamet donning Dylan’s signature hat and strumming his guitar on the streets of New York City sent shivers down my spine.


The first trailer for the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown has been released.

Newly unveiled is Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal as the famed folk artist in the upcoming movie, set to hit theaters in December this year.

The film, penned by James Mangold and Jay Cocks, portrays Dylan’s formative years in New York from the get-go, all the way to his 1965 Newport Folk Festival show.

At the festival, Dylan made a memorable debut with an electric guitar, surprising the audience who had previously heard him perform solely with an acoustic.

I, as an avid fan, can’t help but share my excitement as I watch the trailer begin. There’s Edward Norton, brilliantly portraying Pete Seeger, standing confidently on stage. His voice echoes through the room as he reminisces about that unforgettable moment when he first witnessed and heard Dylan perform live.

I stroll through the bustling streets of Manhattan, New York, with Timothée Chalamet by my side. We pass by some of Dylan’s beloved haunts, such as Cafe Wha? and the iconic Hotel Chelsea. These places hold a special significance in Dylan’s legacy, making our walk through the city even more captivating.

I, an utterly devoted admirer of Chalamet, was thrilled to learn that he would be taking on the challenge of singing himself in addition to his acting talents. And to top it all off, during a recent performance, he left me absolutely speechless with his powerful rendition of the 1963 classic “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall.”

Dylan finds himself caught up in a complicated romantic situation between Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and Sylvie Rosso (Elle Fanning) during his youth in the city.

It’s thought that Sylvie, a character from Elle, is based on Suze Rotolo in fiction. She was romantically linked to Dylan during that period and graced the cover of his “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” album.

The movie draws inspiration from Elijah Wald’s 2015 book, Dylan Goes Electric, detailing Bob Dylan’s transition from using acoustic to electric guitars in his music.

I’m an ardent fan and I can tell you that the title “A Complete Unknown” is familiar to me because of Bob Dylan’s iconic rock anthem, “Like a Rolling Stone.” This song significantly transformed Dylan’s career.

Mangold is an experienced filmmaker in Hollywood, recognized for his work on “Girl, Interrupted” (1998), “Walk the Line” (2005), and more recently, “Ford v. Ferrari” (2019).

In his film, he portrays Dylan as a man hailing from Minnesota, bringing along a new identity and a renewed perspective on life.

His arrival causes a significant stir and disrupts the distinction between accepted and unaccepted traditions within the folk community.

As a lifestyle expert, I’d put it this way: I had the privilege of working closely with the remarkable Dylan, who’s now 83 years young, on the production of this film. I provided feedback on the script and even held several productive meetings with Mangold to ensure we were bringing the best possible project to life.

According to a report, there is immense expectation for accuracy. The devoted followers of Bob Dylan are known for their fervor and could critically respond if Timothee makes an error.

Critics heavily criticized Chalamet’s acting in the musical fantasy film adaptation of “Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,” titled “Wonka.” Their reviews raised the bar for criticism.

New York Magazine labeled him as the most disappointing aspect of Wonka, while Rolling Stone stated that Chalet took on more than he was capable of handling.

For a young man who had seen his star shine brightly for almost a decade without much interference, that was an unexpectedly harsh comment.

In 2017, he gained widespread recognition and acclaim with his role in the coming-of-age romantic drama “Call Me by Your Name.” At a young age, he earned an Oscar nod in the Best Actor category, making him one of the youngest performers to receive such a distinction.

Without an ounce of traditional masculine charm, having a slender build and childlike facets, along with endearing puppy-dog eyes, he deviates from the typical Hollywood heartthrob portrayed by actors like Channing Tatum and Chris Hemsworth.
