Searchlight Pictures on Friday unveiled a new poster for its Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet as the iconic singer-songwriter, which you can view below.

Slated for release on Christmas Day, A Complete Unknown is set in New York in the 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.
