Whilst I was scuttled away in an NYFF screening this morning the first trailer for A Complete Unknown, the Bob Dylan biopic starring our boy Timmy C, dropped -- I'm on the record (probably more than once) in admitting I could give a shit about Bob Dylan, so I'm not the primary audience for this. But that cast is something! Besides Tim-Tim there's Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Scoot McNairy as Woody Gurthie, Ed Norton as Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, and Elle Fanning as "Some Girl." (I think she's playing a made-up character? No doubt to show how the great man changes as he becomes great, like usual. God I could write the script for this movie right now, feels like. Anyway this is a trailer for this movie and I am now back at my desk from my morning screening.
A Complete Unknown is out on Christmas Day.
Thoughts, if you care?

For some of us, Bob Dylan is the greatest (me included.) Watching this trailer, I worry I will cringe through the whole movie while Tim Chalamet imitates him. Perhaps TC's own greatness will prevent this from happening. I'm afraid that the only audience who will actually appreciate this movie is blind TC devotees.
Christ I hate biopics
I'll have to watch this but I am not someone who enjoys Bob's brand.
I agree on the potential for cringing through the entire movie. I cringed throughout the trailer. And I love TC1
I was around when Dylan showed up. He had a couple of good songs but his cult appeal escaped me.
NO ONE is asking for another Bob Dylan movie.
