The highly anticipated trailer for A Complete Unknown<\/i> has been released, showcasing Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet\u2019s transformation into Bob Dylan. Directed by James Mangold, the biographical drama will hit theaters this December.<\/p>\n

A Complete Unknown<\/i>, written by Mangold and Jay Cocks, looks at the iconic folk singer\u2019s early days in New York City. The film builds up to the pivotal moment at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival, where Dylan famously electrified his sound.<\/p>\n

The trailer features Chalamet navigating the streets of Manhattan, visiting Dylan\u2019s old haunts like Cafe Wha? and Hotel Chelsea. It also highlights Chalamet\u2019s performance of Dylan\u2019s 1963 protest anthem, \u201cA Hard Rain\u2019s a-Gonna Fall.\u201d A romantic subplot emerges, involving Dylan and characters played by Monica Barbaro, as Joan Baez, and Elle Fanning, as Sylvie Russo. Russo appears to be a fictionalized version of Suze Rotolo, Dylan\u2019s then-girlfriend who graced the cover of The Freewheelin\u2019 Bob Dylan<\/i>.<\/p>\n

The cast includes Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, P. J. Byrne as Harold Leventhal, Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie, Dan Fogler as Albert Grossman, and Will Harrison as Bob Neuwirth.<\/p>\n

The film, inspired by Elijah Wald\u2019s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric<\/i>, was originally titled Going Electric<\/i>. The new title, A Complete Unknown<\/i>, is a nod to Dylan\u2019s song \u201cLike a Rolling Stone,\u201d which symbolized a seismic shift in the music world.<\/p>\n

Mangold has characterized the film\u2019s Dylan as \u201ca wanderer who comes in from Minnesota with a fresh name and a fresh outlook on life.\u201d Dylan\u2019s arrival in New York is depicted as a catalyst for change in the folk music scene. The real Bob Dylan, now 83, provided input on the script and engaged in multiple discussions with Mangold.<\/p>\n
