Timothee Chalamet recreated Bob Dylan’s ‘Subterranean Homesick Blues’ in new video for ‘A Complete Unknown’
Searchlight Pictures released its latest marketing video for James Mangold’s upcoming Bob Dylan movie “A Complete Unknown,” again focusing on how star Timothee Chalamet mimics the legendary singer-songwriter in the forthcoming film.
In the new featurette, Chalamet as Dylan sings “Subterranean Homesick Blues” and partially recreates Dylan’s famous video for the song where he flips through placards emblazoned with the track’s lyrics.

Here’s the official synopsis for the film from Searchlight:
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. Timothée Chalamet stars and sings as Bob Dylan in James Mangold’s A COMPLETE UNKNOWN, the electric true story behind the rise of one of the most iconic singer-songwriters in history.
The new featurette mainly focuses on Chalamet but also includes footage of costars Edward Norton, Boyd Holbrook, Monica Barbaro, and Elle Fanning. Mangold directed “A Complete Unknown” from a script he co-wrote with Jay Cocks.
Expectations are very high for the December release in terms of its awards potential – particularly in a wide-open year without a true Best Picture frontrunner so far. Chalamet is widely predicted to earn his second Best Actor nomination for playing Dylan.
“A Complete Unknown” is out on December 25.
