The teaser trailer for the highly anticipated biopic of legendary musician Bob Dylan, A Complete Unknown, has left fans in a state of confusion. In the clip, we see Timothée Chalamet, with curly brown hair and dark glasses, walking the dark streets of New York City, where Dylan's career took off.
As the teaser progresses, we hear Chalamet's rendition of the 1960s Dylan classic, A Hard Rain's A‐Gonna Fall. While some fans were impressed by his slightly harsh yet recognizable tone, others expressed their doubts about his casting and couldn't take him seriously.
Chalamet, who is also a producer for the film, fully immersed himself in the role by wearing Dylan's signature folk singer-style clothing. But it was his singing that garnered the most reaction, with the film's director James Mangold confirming that it was all Chalamet's own vocals.
Some fans were skeptical of his singing abilities, while others were blown away by how closely he resembled the real Bob Dylan. There were even calls for Chalamet to receive his second Oscar nomination for this performance.
The teaser also features Edward Norton as American folk singer Pete Seeger, who introduces a young Dylan to a small crowd in a venue. In his speech, he recalls meeting Dylan for the first time and getting a sense of his future greatness.
The teaser also gives us a glimpse of Chalamet's chemistry with co-star Elle Fanning, who plays Sylvie Russo, a character based on Suze Rotolo, Dylan's girlfriend in the early 1960s. We also see him sharing a passionate kiss with Monica Barbaro, who portrays folk singer and counterculture figure Joan Baez.
Director James Mangold, known for his critically acclaimed biopic Walk the Line, has once again delved into the life of a music icon. A Complete Unknown will follow Dylan's journey from a 19-year-old folk singer to becoming one of the biggest names in the industry, culminating in his controversial performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
Dylan, who was born Robert Zimmerman in Minnesota, is the first songwriter to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. His songs have been recorded over 6,000 times and have been covered by artists from various genres.
With over 125 million records sold worldwide and an Oscar for Best Original Song, Dylan's impact on the music industry is undeniable. A Complete Unknown is set to hit theaters in December, and fans are eagerly anticipating the release of this highly anticipated biopic.
