Bob Dylan Biopic A Complete Unknown Releases Christmas

Bob Dylan has expressed enthusiasm for the upcoming biopic 'A Complete Unknown', featuring Timothée Chalamet as a younger version of himself. In a recent post on X, Dylan praised Chalamet's talent, stating he believes the actor will convincingly portray him. The film, directed by James Mangold, is based on Elijah Wald's book 'Dylan Goes Electric', which recounts the significant events leading up to Dylan's controversial 1965 Newport Folk Festival performance. Scheduled for release on December 25, 2024, the film showcases Dylan's early career and his journey from folk music to electric sound. Dylan has not yet seen the film but encourages audiences to read the book after watching it. The film's trailer released in July has generated excitement, and early reactions from screenings have been positive.
