First Trailer Released for Bob Dylan Biopic

The teaser trailer for the Bob Dylan biopic 'A Complete Unknown,' directed by James Mangold, features Timothée Chalamet portraying the iconic musician during his transformative years in the early 1960s. The film focuses on Dylan's journey from a young folk singer in Minnesota to a rock legend, culminating in his controversial electric performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Chalamet's performance includes singing Dylan's songs, with some fans praising his vocal authenticity while others express skepticism about his portrayal. Director Mangold emphasized that the film is not a conventional biopic, with only 20% based on real events, and aims to explore the emotional dynamics of Dylan's life. The cast also includes Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger. 'A Complete Unknown' is set for a U.S. release in December and will premiere in U.K. cinemas in January 2025.
