AceShowbiz - Timothee Chalamet delivers a captivating performance as Bob Dylan in the official trailer for "A Complete Unknown", showcasing the challenges of celebrity and the artist's desire to transcend expectations.
In the film, Chalamet portrays Dylan as a young and enigmatic musician who arrives in New York City with a guitar and a revolutionary talent. As his success grows, Dylan grapples with the weight of audience expectations, expressing his frustration that they only want him to perform "Blowin' in the Wind" endlessly. Dylan attempts to change the course of American music, but his restlessness grows as he feels confined by his own fame.
The trailer also provides glimpses of Dylan's uneasy partnership with Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and their rise from a singing duo to folk music royalty. Chalamet, who performs his own singing for the role, brings Dylan's iconic songs to life with authenticity.
Rounding out the cast are Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Dan Fogler as Albert Grossman, P.J. Byrne as Harold Leventhal, Norbert Leo Butz as Alan Lomax, Will Harrison as Bob Neuwirth, and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.
