‘A Complete Unknown’ Trailer: Timothée Chalamet Transforms Into Bob Dylan and Sings ‘A Hard Rain’s a‐Gonna Fall’

As a seasoned movie buff with a deep appreciation for biopics and musical dramas, I can hardly contain my excitement as I witness the release of the highly-anticipated trailer for James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” – a film that brings to life the enigmatic and iconic figure of Bob Dylan during his early years in New York City.


Gather around, everyone, no matter where you are. The trailer for James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” has arrived, as well as the initial sneak peek of Timothée Chalamet portraying Bob Dylan.

As a seasoned film critic with a deep appreciation for music and biographical dramas, I can’t help but be thrilled about the upcoming release of this new film. Having grown up listening to folk music legends, I can only imagine the captivating journey this movie will take us on as it delves into the early years of a musical icon in New York City. The anticipation builds as we follow his transformation leading up to that earth-shattering moment when he defied traditions by strapping on an electric guitar during his 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance. As someone who has witnessed the power of music to change the course of history, I can’t wait to see how this film brings that pivotal moment to life on the big screen.

In the movie preview, Chalamet strolls through Manhattan’s streets, visiting Dylan’s beloved haunts such as Cafe Wha? and Hotel Chelsea. The performer additionally showcases a powerful rendition of Dylan’s 1963 protest anthem “A Hard Rain’s a-Gonna Fall.” A love triangle appears to develop between Dylan, Monica Barbaro’s portrayal of Joan Baez, and Elle Fanning’s character Sylvie Russo. Sylvie seems to represent a fictionalized depiction of Dylan’s real-life girlfriend Suze Rotolo, who graces the cover of “The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan” album.

I’d like to add that Edward Norton portrays Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook takes on the role of Johnny Cash, P. J. Byrne becomes Harold Leventhal, Scoot McNairy plays Woody Guthrie, Dan Fogler interprets Albert Grossman, and Will Harrison embodies Bob Neuwirth in this production, along with others joining the talented cast.

Using the phrase “drawn inspiration from” instead of “borrows a phrase,” and simplifying some of the other language, we get:

In his film, Mangold portrays Dylan as a traveler hailing from Minnesota, bringing along a new perspective on life. This entry disrupts the peace within the folk society, challenging their perceptions of authentic and unconventional folk music. In reality, the 83-year-old Dylan provided feedback on the script and held numerous discussions with Mangold.

The filming of the movie started in March, both in New York and New Jersey. meanwhile, snaps of Chalamet were widely shared on social media platforms, causing a buzz among fans.

Produced by a group of individuals including Michael Bederman, Fred Berger, Bob Bookman, Chalamet, Alan Gasmer, Alex Heineman, Peter Jaysen, Brian Kavanaugh-Jones, Mangold, and Andrew Rona from Searchlight Pictures, “A Complete Unknown” comes to life.
