The typically private musician is confident that the “brilliant” Chalamet is “going to be completely believable as me” in the biopic, which documents Dylan’s rise to fame.
“There’s a movie about me opening soon called A Complete Unknown ,” Dylan wrote Wednesday, December 4 on X. “ Timothee Chalamet is starring in the lead role. Timmy’s a brilliant actor so I’m sure he’s going to be completely believable as me. Or a younger me. Or some other me.” The 83-year-old went on to note that the film is based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric. It's directed by Walk the Line’s James Mangold from a script the filmmaker co-wrote with Jay Cocks.
Joining Chalamet as Dylan are an array of actors portraying legendary figures from the ’60s music scene, including Monica Barbaro as folk icon and activist Joan Baez; Boyd Holbrook as country superstar Johnny Cash; Edward Norton as folk singer Pete Seeger; and Scoot McNairy as Dylan’s musical role model, Woody Guthrie. Elle Fanning also stars as Dylan’s love interest, artist and college student Sylvie Russo.
