Actor Timothée Chalamet does his best Bob Dylan impression in the official trailer for the upcoming biopic “A Complete Unknown,” released Tuesday.
The clip shows the 28-year-old actor singing songs including “Girl from the North Country” and “Like a Rolling Stone” while making his way through Lower Manhattan with Monica Barbaro, who plays fellow folk star Joan Baez.
The movie, which details Dylan’s rise to rock-and-roll stardom, also features Elle Fanning and Edward Norton.
“A Complete Unknown,” named for a lyric from “Like a Rolling Stone,” hits theaters Christmas Day. It’s directed by James Mangold, whose credits also include the Johnny Cash biopic “Walk the Line” starring Joaquin Phoenix.
Manhold’s new Dylan flick will reunite him with Cash, sort of. In his latest movie about musicians, Cash is played by Boyd Holbrook.
Searchlight Pictures, which is distributing “A Complete Unknown,” calls the film “the ballad of a true original.”
The real Dylan is currently touring Europe. He’s playing three shows in Berlin, Germany to finish the week before performing six more gigs in Germany in October. The 83-year-old’s Rough and Rowdy Ways Tour then rolls into France, Luxembourg and Belgium before making its way to the U.K. in November.
