After multiple delays in production, the new Bob Dylan biopic has started filming — which means a first look at actor Timothée Chalamet as the legendary folk singer. Costumed in an army-green jacket and a newsboy cap, Chalamet was pictured filming “A Complete Unknown,” a movie chronicling the singer-songwriter’s career beginnings, in New York this weekend, setting off a stream of both excitement and jokes among fans. “He looks like he’s going to Camp Rock,” one X user quipped, referencing a Disney movie about a musical summer camp. “This is not Bob Dylan, it’s simply every man who has ever tried to talk to me about Bob Dylan,” wrote author Marissa R. Moss. Others joked that Chalamet looked like Fievel, the animated mouse in “An American Tail.” After first being announced in 2020, production for “A Complete Unknown” experienced numerous lags, from the pandemic to the SAG-AFTRA strike. Still, the movie has retained complete support from Dylan himself, who gave director James Mangold detailed annotated notes on the script.
Despite being based on a grim true-crime yarn, “Under the Bridge” makes several poor choices in translating the book to the screen, beginning with inserting the author, Rebecca Godfrey, into the story. This bridge into the familiar waters of troubled teens thus proves most notable as Lily Gladstone’s follow-up to “Killers of the Flower Moon,” albeit in a rather drab role as the local cop investigating the case.
