Timothée Chalamet’s portrayal of Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s nearest movie, A Whole Unknown, liked by way of Dylan.
Dylan posted on social media on Wednesday, announcing, “A Complete Unknown (what a title!) is a movie about me that opens soon.”
“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 tale of the film revolves round Dylan, who used to be 19 on the month, went from Minnesota to Untouched York Town in the summertime of 1961,wearing best his guitar.
The film used to be impressed at the 2015 store Dylan Is going Electrical. The debate atmosphere Dylan’s transfer to electrically amplified tools is tested in Elijah Wald’s store Newport, Seeger, Dylan, and the Night time That Fracture the Nineteen Sixties.
Dylan wrote on Wednesday that the store is “a fantastic retelling of events from the early ‘60s that led up to the fiasco at Newport,” and added, “After you’ve seen the movie read the book.”
Chalamet lately opened as much as Zane Lowe about feeling hooked up to Dylan’s tale. “I’ve had a life experience, I won’t say it’s weird, but I can relate to some of these things [Bob Dylan] went through,” Chalamet mentioned.
“Bob wanted to be a rock ‘n’ roll star — Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Elvis Presley — that was the sort of, depending on your point of view, the sort of rice crispy pop, rock ‘n’ roll music that was saturated, you know, marketed to kids in the late ’50s. Equally, I wanted to be a big movie actor.”
He persisted, “I found my way into these very personalized movies. For [Dylan], it was folk music. He couldn’t keep a rock ‘n’ roll band because they would all get hired by other kids that had more money, literally, in Minnesota. So for me, it was finding a very personal style movie — Call Me By Your Name or Beautiful Boy or Lady Bird or Little Women, Miss Stevens, Hot Summer Nights. Those were smaller budget but very… I don’t know how else to put it… personable movies that started in this theater space. This is where I found my rhythm, my confidence, my flow, whatever you want to call it.”
A Whole Unknown hits theaters on Christmas Future.
