Timothée Chalamet is the most sought-after actor of his generation, and his upcoming project is set to further solidify his status. In “A Complete Unknown,” the “Dune” star takes on his first biopic role, portraying the iconic Bob Dylan.
The film is directed by James Mangold, known for “Logan,” “Ford v Ferrari,” and “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.” Following his acclaimed performance as Paul Atreides in Denis Villeneuve‘s franchise, there’s considerable anticipation for how Chalamet will bring one of music‘s most enigmatic figures to life.
Audiences are particularly eager to see how his romantic relationships will be depicted. Elle Fanning will play Sylvie Russo, a character based on Suze Rotolo, Dylan’s first serious relationship and muse. Additionally, folk star Joan Baez will be portrayed by Mónica Barbaro, who has recently had a breakthrough in her career.
