As a long-time admirer of the enigmatic and iconic Bob Dylan, I find myself thoroughly intrigued by the upcoming biopic, “A Complete Unknown.” Having grown up listening to his poignant lyrics and haunting melodies, I can’t help but feel a sense of anticipation tinged with apprehension.

On Monday, Timothée Chalamet exuded a chic appearance at the London event for his newest movie, the Bob Dylan biopic titled “A Complete Unknown.

At The Curzon in Mayfair, the 28-year-old actor was accompanied by his fellow actors Elle Fanning, who chose a more androgynous outfit, and the stylish Monica Barbaro.

Walking the red carpet, he wore a smart grey jacket which he teamed with loose fitting jeans. 

In the upcoming movie, Timothée Chalamet, portraying the artist behind “Knockin’ On Heaven’s Door,” completed his attire with sleek patent leather footwear.

Accompanied by him, the 26-year-old Elle chose a white shirt, neatly tucked into high-waisted pants, wore stilettos, and accessorized with a polka dot tie.

Simultaneously, the 34-year-old Monica was radiant in a sparkling mini dress adorned with golden embellishments and a matching pair of nude high heels.

Elle will star as Sylvie Russo, a renamed version of Bob’s girlfriend from the time while Monica will play Joan Baez. 

The film focuses on a pivotal moment in the life of the musician, when he made a contentious change to using electronic instruments during the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Timothée Chalamet, alongside Edward Norton and Boyd Holbrook, has been verified to perform his own songs in the upcoming film. This comes after he contributed his voice to the 2023 musical movie “Wonka,” where he lent his singing talents.

According to Director James Mangold, he’s been collaborating with Bob on this project, and even contributed his own personal ideas to the scriptwriting process, as Bob is known for being the singer of Hurricane.

On the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the filmmaker shared that they had delightful, private conversations with him for a few days.

I possess a special, annotated script that holds personal value for me, courtesy of him. It’s no secret that he is a movie enthusiast. During my initial meeting with Bob, one of the things he shared with me was his affection for the film ‘Cop Land’.

Although the image portrays his early life stages, it’s important to note that A Complete Unknown isn’t solely a biographical film about the musician. It explores other aspects as well.

He explained: ‘By the way, it’s not really a Bob Dylan biopic.’

He mentioned that the reason Bob has been so supportive of our project is likely because, just like with any good biographical movies, it focuses on a particular significant moment, rather than from birth to death.

In essence, what he was saying is that it has a vibe reminiscent of Altman’s style, but it’s essentially a collaborative work set during the early 60s in New York City. The story revolves around a 17-year-old boy who embarks on a hitchhiking journey with only $16 to his name, aiming to meet Woody Guthrie, who was terminally ill with a nerve disease at a hospital in the city.

In late August, shortly after the first trailer was unveiled, Timothée Chalamet shared the movie poster for the eagerly awaited production on his Instagram account, offering a glimpse of the film’s New York-born star in action.

And he has been seen channeling the singer on set on various occasions.

A confidant near the actor has disclosed that there’s a great deal riding on his performance: “He feels the weight of high expectations, as Bob Dylan devotees are fiercely loyal and will harshly criticize him if he makes a mistake.

The title – “A Complete Unknown” – is reminiscent of Dylan’s iconic rock ballad that revolutionized his career, famously known as “Like a Changing Tide.
