See Timothée Chalamet transform into Bob Dylan in trailer for ‘A Complete Unknown’

Searchlight Pictures released its first trailer for its upcoming movie A Complete Unknown, featuring Timothée Chalamet (Wonka, Dune) as iconic folk and rock musician Bob Dylan. The film covers Dylan’s early years in New York City, and initial rise to fame in the 1960s.

The film is based on the Elijah Wald book Dylan Goes Electric! and is co-written and directed by James Mangold (‘Walk the Line’, ‘Logan’, ‘Ford v Ferrari’). Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Monica Barbaro, Boyd Holbrook, Dan Folger, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy also star.

An official synopsis for A Complete Unknown reads: “Set in the influential New York music scene of the early 60s, A Complete Unknown follows 19-year-old Minnesota musician Bob Dylan’s 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.”

The trailer for A Complete Unknown opens with Dylan (Chalamet) performing the early hit “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” on a small stage, following an introduction from Edward Norton’s Pete Seeger.  As he sings, the two-minute teaser cuts to shots of Chalamet walking the streets of 1960s New York City, romancing Elle Fanning’s Sylvie Russo (who is inspired by Dylan’s past girlfriend artist Suze Rotolo) and falling for Monica Barbaro’s Joan Baez.

A Complete Unknown does not yet have a specific release date, but it will begin playing in theaters in December, per a press release. See the trailer for A Complete Unknownhere.
