A new biopic, “A Complete Unknown,” tells the story of Bob Dylan’s rise to fame. Directed by James Mangold and written by Mangold and Jay Cocks, the film explores Dylan’s early years as a musician and his relationships with other iconic figures of the time.
The film opens in 1961 New York City, where a young Bob Dylan arrives with his guitar, ready to take on the music scene. He forges close ties with musicians like Pete Seeger, Joan Baez, and Johnny Cash, before delivering a groundbreaking performance that shakes the world.
Starring Timothée Chalamet as Dylan, the film also features Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Elle Fanning as Bob’s girlfriend Suze Rotolo. After five years of intense preparation, Chalamet said he fully immersed himself in Dylan’s persona.
“A Complete Unknown” is set to hit theaters nationwide on Christmas Day, 2024.
