Timothée Chalamet, who plays the legendary songwriter and performer Bob Dylan, discovers the cost of celebrity fame in the official trailer for James Mangold’s biopic A Complete Unknown.
That price is having to meet audience expectations in the 1960s music world that came between the artist, his songs and his fans, Chalamet as Dylan complains in the preview.
“They just want me to be singing ‘Blowin’ in the Wind’ for the rest of my goddamn life,” Dylan says at one point in the latest look at the Searchlight film.
There’s also a look at the uneasy partnership between Dylan and Joan Baez, played by Monica Barbaro, as they rise from a singing duo to performing in concert halls and then hitting the top of the charts as the king and queen of folk music.
Chalamet does his own singing for the movie role after earlier musical work including his onscreen performance in Wonka.
The film is produced by Fred Berger, Alex Heineman, Peter Jaysen, Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen, Chalamet and Mangold, who directed the biopic based on a script he co-wrote with Jay Cocks.
