Searchlight Pictures has set Christmas Day as the date for its long-awaited biopic about the legendary singer Bob Dylan, titled A Complete Unknown. In the title role is Timothée Chalamet, with a huge ensemble cast that includes Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, and more.
The movie does appear as if it will transport viewers to the vibrant New York City of the 1960s. Important locations have been used in the movie so as to be at par with the era, including Hotel Chelsea and Cafe Wha?. The transition of Bob Dylan from a 20-year-old coming from Minnesota to be the greatest voice of his generation will be captivating. With Chalamet, who proved his singing skills in Wonka, doing his own singing in this film, audiences are already getting a feel for it from the early trailers and images. He's taken on Dylan's persona, working up a rather striking transformation for the film.
The biopic traces Dylan's early days in Greenwich Village, having traveled there at 19 years old with grand ideas of revolutionizing the music scene. The chord he struck first among the folk circles to his fateful decision to tune in to rock n' roll speaks of his indelible legacy in music. The movie promises time and again to portray the indispensable and mythic events of Dylan's life, from his early performances in folk clubs to his climaxing entry at the Newport Folk Festival.
James Mangold wrote the screenplay with Jay Cocks and explained why he wanted to realize a screen version of Dylan's life. "It's such an amazing time in American culture, and the story of a young, 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with, like, $2 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," Mangold explained to The Hollywood Reporter.
Executive producers on the picture are Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen, Timothee Chalamet, and James Mangold. A Complete Unknown is shaping up to be a cinematic event and in a newly released trailer, audiences get Chalamet singing Dylan's iconic "A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall" that plays in his immersive performance.
As the time inches closer to Christmas Day a couple of months from now, so does the anticipation for the premiere of A Complete Unknown. With a gripping storyline, an excellent cast, and directed with vision by James Mangold, the film turns into one of the best highlights of this holiday season. Bob Dylan's fans and cineasts will be waiting for the version that one of the iconic personalities of the music world will do.
