Two very representative cinematographic phenomena of the current moment have come together: Timothée Chalamet and musical biopics. On one hand, Chalamet has become the face of fashion thanks to films like Wonka and Dune: Part 2, in which he has demonstrated his versatility and his character as a great star. And on the other hand, since Bohemian Rhapsody was a hit at the time, studios have not stopped making films about musical stars… and now it’s Bob Dylan‘s turn.
Although Dylan already has a few films about his story, the movie that Chalamet will star in will have a commercial film character and aims to bring the figure of its protagonist to a higher threshold. A complete unknown, which is the name of the film, will narrate the emergence of a young Bob Dylan in the folk scene of New York City in the 1960s. The first images have already been leaked and the truth is that it doesn’t look bad.
A director worthy of Dylan
The director of A complete unknown is none other than James Mangold, the director of the latest installment of Indiana Jones and other films such as Logan or Ford V Ferrari. Undoubtedly, he is one of the best commercial directors of the moment, so it could be a big hit. However, there is no release date yet.
