The upcoming biopic called ‘A Complete Unknown’ is expected to see the ‘Call Me by Your Name’ actor show off his vocal chops in his portrayal of the music icon.
AceShowbiz –Timothee Chalamet will be using his own vocals when singing in the Bob Dylan biopic. Titled “A Complete Unknown“, the movie has been teased by James Mangold at the Star Wars Celebration in London and he confirmed that the “Bones and All” actor will be doing his own singing in his portrayal of the music icon.
“Of course,” James told Collider when quizzed on if Timothee would be singing.
The director revealed that the movie – which is set to begin filming in August – will be set when a teenage Dylan arrives in New York in the early 1960s as he is on the path to becoming a “worldwide sensation.”
James explained, “It’s such an amazing time in American culture and the story of Bob – a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with like two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years. First being embraced into the family of folk music in New York and kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.”
The “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” director added, “It’s such an interesting true story about such an interesting moment in the American scene, different characters from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan, to Pete Seeger to Joan Baez, all have a role to play in this movie.”
Mangold’s Dylan biopic was first announced in 2020 with Chalamet attached to play the lead role. At the time, it was not known if the actor would perform the music legend’s songs but it was revealed that he had started taking guitar lessons in preparation for the part.
