Bob Dylan Biopic ‘A Complete Unknown,’ Starring Timothée Chalamet, Sets Christmas Release Date
variety.comRebecca Rubin Senior Film and Media Reporter “A Complete Unknown,” the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet as the famed musician, will land in theaters on Christmas Day.
It’s scheduled to hit the big screen on Dec. 25. On its current release date, “A Compete Unknown” will premiere on the same day as Robert Eggers’ remake of “Nosferatu” and a week after Disney’s “Mufasa: The Lion King.” “Walk the Line” filmmaker James Mangold directed “A Complete Unknown,” which chronicles the early life and times of Dylan.
Set in New York in the early 1960s, the film begins as the enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in Greenwich Village and ignites an “upheaval in the folk community” when, in 1965, he straps on an electric guitar.
The first trailer, which debuted in July, gives a glimpse at Chalamet (who does his own singing) performing a rousing rendition of “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” and stopping by Dylan’s favorite haunts like Cafe Wha and Hotel Chelsea.
