A Complete Unknown, the long-awaited, social media-hyped Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothée Chalamet as the iconic musician, will finally find its way into movie theaters on Christmas Day, December 25. Walk the Line filmmaker James Mangold directed A Complete Unknown, which chronicles the early music career of Dylan. The movie is set in New York in the early 1960s, and captures Dylan’s evolution from a fresh-faced 19-year-old from Minnesota to a burgeoning folk star in Greenwich Village, before he straps on an electric guitar and abandons the folk community at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

The film’s initial trailer features Chalamet doing his own singing on a rendition of “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” while hitting up New York City cultural landmarks like Cafe Wha? and Hotel Chelsea. Dylan himself isn’t involved in the film, but did sit in on meetings with Mangold. “I’ve spent several, wonderfully charming, days in his company, just one-on-one, talking to him,” Mangold said earlier this summer. “I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me.” (Variety)
