Timothée Chalamet is unstoppable at this point. After starring in Wonka, he starred in a teeny-tiny flick called Dune: Part Two – have you heard of it?
Clearly, Timothée is not leaving our screens anytime soon. The trailer for his latest film – A Comiplete Unknown, a biopic about Bob Dylan – has just dropped. It will be directed by James Mangold, which charts Bob Dylan’s journey through the New York folk music scene in the 1960s.
Here’s everything we know so far about Timothée Chalamet‘s upcoming film, including plot, trailer, potential release date, and first-look pics…
A Complete Unknown plot
IMDB‘s synopsis for the movie reads: “At the Newport Folk Festival in 1965, a young Bob Dylan shakes up his act on the folk music scene by going electric and siring rock as the voice of a generation – defining one of the most transformative moments in 20th century music.”
We also know it will explore a significant romance in Bob Dylan’s life, with Elle Fanning playing a character inspired by Suze Rotolo, the singer’s first love.
Speaking about the film on the Happy Sad Confused podcast last year, director James Mangold said, “The best true-life movies are never cradle to grave but they’re about a very specific moment.”

He continued, “It’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time, the early ’60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pockets hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease.
“He sings Woody a song that he wrote for him and befriends Pete Seeger, who is like a son to Woody, and Pete sets him up with gigs at local clubs and there you meet Joan Baez and all these other people who are part of this world.”
A Complete Unknown cast
