Watch: The First Trailer for Timothée Chalamet’s Bob Dylan Biopic, ‘A Complete Unknown’

James Mangold’s Bob Dylan Biopic, A Complete Unknown, has been a much buzzed about project. Though fans have gotten a few sneak peeks of the film, they haven’t seen Timothée Chalamet in action as The Bard–until now.

The first trailer for A Complete Unknown sees Chalamet sporting Dylan’s ’60s look. With a turned up collar and a smoke cloud around him, Chalamet embodies the icon’s instantly recognizable silhouette. But, Chalamet doesn’t just look like Dylan, he sounds like him too.

When Dylan fans first got word that Chalamet was doing his own singing for the project, there was no doubt some trepidation. Nevertheless, the trailer reveals the actor’s vocals to be pretty spot on. He sings a few verses of “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall” over the top of selected scenes from the movie.

Elsewhere in the trailer, we see Dylan fall in love with Sylvie Russo (a fictional character based on an early love interest of Dylan’s) and meet a young Joan Baez. Though short and relatively vague, everything about the trailer bodes well for the impending film.

What We Know About A Complete Unknown

Director Mangold has revealed tidbits about the film, here and there. He described it as an all-encompassing look at Dylan’s early days and rise to recognition.

“It’s such an amazing time in American culture,” Mangold recently said. “[It’s] the story of a young, 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with like two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years, first being embraced … into the family of folk music in New York and then, of course, kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.”

Aside from the basic plot, we know which characters from Dylan’s life will make an appearance. The cast includes Monica Barbaro (Baez), Elle Fanning (Russo), Edward Norton (Pete Seeger), Boyd Holbrook (Johnny Cash), and Nick Offerman (folk archivist Alan Lomax).

No firm release date is set for A Complete Unknown, but it is expected to arrive in early 2025.
