The James Mangold-helmed film, set to premiere on December 25, boasts a star-studded cast including Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Dan Fogler as Albert Grossman, P.J. Byrne as Harold Leventhal, Norbert Leo Butz as Alan Lomax, Will Harrison as Bob Neuwirth, and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.

Chalamet, known for his previous musical performances including his role in Wonka, will perform Dylan’s songs himself in this film.

The official synopsis of A Complete Unknown reads, “New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music. As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide.”

Searchlight Pictures had earlier released a trailer showcasing Chalamet performing Dylan’s classic A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall alongside scenes depicting Dylan’s early life and career.

A Complete Unknown is produced by Fred Berger, Alex Heineman, Peter Jaysen, Bob Bookman, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen, Chalamet, and Mangold.
