The first photos of Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan are here! What do you think of her new look?
Filming on the Bob Dylan biopic has finally started! Announced more than 4 years ago, with the pandemic, this is a new film project on the life of the famous singer, entitled A Complete Unknown (previously titled Going Electric).
After playing Henry V in The King by David Michôd (Fury), Timothée Chalamet will become Bob Dylan in a musical biopic directed by James Mangold (Le Mans 66).
This film will mark the filmmaker’s return to the musical biopic, almost 20 years after Walk The Line. The drama, which brought together Joaquin Phoenix and Reese Witherspoon (Oscar winner for this role), looked back on the young years of Johnny Cash.
Bob Dylan, from folk to rock…
A Complete Unknown film should look back on the transition between folk music and rock, an important moment in the singer’s career and immortalized with the album Bringing It All Back Home, released in 1965.
