Ever since Timothée Chalamet’s starring role as Bob Dylan was announced, I've been on the edge of my seat waiting to hear him sing. (The same can be said for Paul Mescal's rumored role in the upcoming Beatles biopics. Let the men sing!) Last year's over-the-top Wonka proved Chalamet has the chops to be a musical leading man, but the new A Complete Unknown trailer proves he can excel at grounded storytelling just as much as caricatures.
Watch The New 'A Complete Unknown' Trailer!
This new trailer for the movie shows off just how much of a risk Bob Dylan took when he moved from folksy music to rock. And not only is he dealing with competing genres — he's also dealing with two different hearts: Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning) and Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro). This biopic won't just celebrate Dylan's music. It'll get to the heart of who Dylan was, and explore the relationships solidified in pop culture history.
The A Complete Unknown trailer shows fragments of Bob Dylan’s life, while Timothée Chalamet, in the Dylan family’s Minnesota cabin, sings "A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall" throughout it all, tying together the past and the present. The film follows Dylan's move to New York City, as well as his rise to fame ahead of his historic 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance. Everything about Chalemet’s transformation proves he's primed for an Oscar, and this might just be the film that cements him as a true movie star.
There’s something for everyone in the movie, whether or not you’re a Dylan fanatic. Romance, old New York, musical performances. Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro shine as Sylvie Russo and Joan Baez. If this is only a glimpse of the movie, the full film is sure to be one of 2024's best.
