First trailer for Timothée Chalamet’s new movie A Complete Unknown

BBG News

As a dedicated gamer and music enthusiast with a deep appreciation for biopics that bring iconic artists to life on the silver screen, I cannot help but be captivated by the upcoming release of “A Complete Unknown,” the new Bob Dylan biopic featuring Timothée Chalamet in the lead role.

In the initial sneak peek for “A Complete Unknown,” Timothée Chalamet undergoes a remarkable metamorphosis, not just in appearance but also vocally, channeling Bob Dylan.

The forthcoming movie tells the story of a renowned singer-songwriter’s journey to fame in New York’s music world, culminating at his memorable 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance. This film is inspired by Elijah Wald’s 2015 book “Dylan Goes Electric“.

“A young Bob Dylan revolutionized the folk music world by embracing electricity and rock music, becoming the influential figure of his generation and shaping one of the most groundbreaking moments in 20th-century music.”

As a gamer, I’m excited to share that in the upcoming “Dune: Part Two,” I’ll be sharing the screen with some amazingly talented actors. Elle Fanning will play my romantic interest Sylvie Russo, inspired by my late ex Suze Rotolo. Edward Norton brings Pete Seeger to life as a folk singer and social activist. Boyd Holbrook from “The Bikeriders” joins us as the legendary musician Johnny Cash. Lastly, Monica Barbaro takes on the role of singer-songwriter Joan Baez. It’s going to be an incredible experience working with such a talented cast!

In addition to the main actors, PJ Byrne portrays Harold Leventhal, Scoot McNairy takes on the role of Woody Guthrie, Dan Fogler plays Albert Grossman, and Will Harrison is cast as Bob Neuwirth.

As a movie enthusiast with a strong appreciation for both biographical films and unique storytelling, I find it fascinating that James Mangold has successfully navigated between these two genres throughout his distinguished career. Having won an Oscar for his work on “Walk the Line,” which brought Johnny Cash’s life to the big screen in a captivating way, Mangold demonstrates a remarkable ability to breathe life into real-life stories.

Last April, Mangold announced that Timothée Chalamet would perform some famous songs by Bob Dylan in the upcoming film. The trailer provides a sneak peek into Chalamet’s singing ability.

I can’t help but be awed by this period in American culture, and the fascinating tale of how a 19-year-old Bob Dylan, with just two dollars in his pocket, managed to captivate the world within three short years after moving to New York.

In New York, he initially gained acceptance into the folk music community. However, his fame eventually surpassed expectations, becoming an intriguing tale of an extraordinary figure in American history.

In this film, various figures such as Woody Guthrie, Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, and Joan Baez each contribute their unique parts.

The film “A Complete Unknown” is scheduled for release in the US in December, and in the UK in January 2025; however, the exact release dates have not been finalized yet.
