Timothée Chalamet's highly-anticipated film A Complete Unknown has landed both UK and US release dates.
Chalamet plays iconic rocker Bob Dylan in the biopic, which will land at the tail end of award season with a release date in the UK of 17 January, 2025, while it will be opening in the US on Christmas Day (December 25), according to via Variety.
In the US, A Compete Unknown will be opening against some stiff competition — the Nosferatu remake with Bill Skarsgård on the same day and Disney prequel Mufasa: The Lion King a week earlier.
A Complete Unknown comes from co-writer and director James Mangold, who adapted the film from the book Dylan Goes Electric! by Elijah Wald. Mangold previously tackled the music biopic with the Oscar-winning Johnny Cash film Walk the Line.
The film covers the earliest years of Bob Dylan's career as a struggling songwriter in New York City and his transformation into a pioneer of the folk-rock movement following a performance at the Newport Folk Festival.
Academy Award nominee Edward Norton co-stars as Dylan's idol Pete Seeger, while Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro play Dylan's earliest romantic muses Sylvie Russo and Joan Baez.
The film will also call back to Mangold's Walk the Line with an appearance from Johnny Cash, another of Dylan's early inspirations. In A Complete Unknown, Cash will be played by The Sandman's Boyd Holbrook rather than Joaquin Phoenix.
Other cast members include SNL's James Austin Johnson, Invincible's Scoot McNairy, and Daisy Jones & the Six's Will Harrison.
As seen in a recent trailer, A Complete Unknown will feature Chalamet singing some of Dylan's best-known songs, including 'A Hard Rain's a-Gonna Fall' and 'Like A Rolling Stone'.
A Complete Unknown hits cinemas on 17 January, 2025 in the UK.
