There are still about three months left until ‘A Complete Unknown’ arrives in our movie theaters to continue perpetuating the fashion for musical biopics in the industry, but the feature film based on the figure of Bob Dylan It is already making a lot, but a lot of noise. It is no wonder if we take into account that Timothée Chalamet will be in charge of giving life to the legendary musician.
He plays the guitar, but he’s not a badass
Without going any further, Dylan himself expressed his full confidence in which the actor nailed his role in a post in X a few days ago; faith that, on the other hand, Chalamet’s colleagues in the filming of ‘Dune’starting with a tremendously skeptical Oscar Isaac regarding the signing. This was explained during the last Gotham Awards ceremony.
“My first thought was… it seems like a tremendously bad idea. I mean, it’s Dylan. To me, it’s a sacred thing. It just didn’t sound right to me. Then, Timmy pulls out his guitar. It wasn’t a good sign.”
But, when good old Timmy began to perform ‘Girl From the North Country’, Josh Brolin, Stephen McKinley Henderson and Isaac himself they changed their minds instantly upon witnessing a moment little less than mystical.
“Josh, Stephen and I aren’t your typical Timmy fans. We’re seasoned movie veterans; we’ve seen it all. But listening to this guy, who had just started learning to play guitar, who hadn’t sung much, and who didn’t “I was so familiar with Dylan’s music, approaching these songs not as if I were learning something new, but remembering something I already knew, just rediscovering it… The three of us sat there watching this young man connect with something mysterious.”
Have Isaac’s words fueled the hype towards ‘A Complete Unknown’ a little more? Well, to satisfy it we will have to wait until next February 28, 2025. We’ll see if it meets expectations.
