Until recently, audiences had no clear date for the release of James Mangold’s upcoming Bob Dylan biopic. That is, until now, when Searchlight Pictures formally announced a slated release date of Christmas day, this year. With Timothée Chalamet as the star, A Complete Unknown is predicted to be a big hit for audiences and for the box office. 

Film Rollout

So far, audiences have only been able to take a look at the teaser for the upcoming film, but that isn’t the only info they’ve gotten. The star-studded cast is of notable acclaim, with actors such as Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Boyd Holbrook, Monica Barbaro, and more. It has also been said that Chalamet will be doing his own singing renditions of the iconic songs from Bob Dylan’s discography. Given his earlier success in that realm with his performance in Wonka, viewers are expecting nothing but quality, which Chalamet has proven to deliver.

The film itself surrounds Bob Dylan’s story as an up-and-coming artist, starting at the age of 19. With his risky venture into New York, he’s able to discover his own place in the ever-changing landscape of music in the 1960s. Intimate relationships form and his motivation grows restless as he makes controversial decisions in his rise to fame.
