Timothée Chalamet Transforms Into Bob Dylan in ‘A Complete Unknown’ Trailer

As a huge fan of both Timothée Chalamet and Bob Dylan, I am beyond excited about his portrayal of the iconic folk singer-songwriter in James Mangold’s upcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown.” Chalamet’s commitment to the role doesn’t just stop at acting; he also does his own singing for the film, showcasing his versatility as an artist.


In the initial sneak peek for filmmaker James Mangold’s forthcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown,” Timothée Chalamet effectively embodies the spirit of Bob Dylan.

In an intriguing turn of events, Timothée Chalamet, renowned for his acting skills in “Dune,” is assumed to portray the legendary folk musician-songwriter who significantly influenced counter-culture during the 1960s. Notably, Chalamet has shared that he will sing for this role himself, mirroring Austin Butler’s approach in “Elvis.” Following his captivating performance in “Wonka,” this musical endeavor adds another dimension to his burgeoning repertoire.

I’m thrilled to share my initial impressions of the Searchlight Pictures’ movie where Timothée Chalamet brings Dylan’s iconic “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” to life. The film offers an intriguing blend of captivating footage chronicling Dylan’s personal journey and Chalamet’s mesmerizing renditions of the classic song.

In the vibrant music world of New York City during the early ’60s, a 19-year-old folk singer from Minnesota named Dylan is making a name for himself. His raw talent and captivating performances have earned him packed concert halls and top chart positions. The enigma surrounding him has spread globally, culminating in his groundbreaking electric rock and roll performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

In the film, Edward Norton portrays Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning takes on the role of Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook is cast as Johnny Cash, Monica Barbaro plays Joan Baez, Dan Fogler becomes Albert Grossman, P. J. Byrne acts as Harold Leventhal, Norbert Leo Butz interprets Alan Lomax, Will Harrison assumes the character of Bob Neuwirth, and Scoot McNairy embodies Woody Guthrie.

Mangold (Ford v Ferrari) previously explained his motivation for telling Dylan’s story.

As a gamer, I’m really excited about the upcoming film that tells the incredible tale of a young 19-year-old named Bob Dylan who came to New York with just a couple of bucks in his pocket. Can you believe it? Within three years, this guy went from being welcomed into the folk music community here in New York City, to outshining them as his fame skyrocketed beyond anyone’s wildest dreams. It’s an intriguing and captivating true story that sheds light on a fascinating period in American culture.
