Searchlight Pictures has given us a new look at Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan by revealing a new clip from A Complete Unknown ahead of its Christmas Day release.
The new clip introduces us to Boyd Holbrook in the role of Johnny Cash, who is as cool, calm and collected as you'd expect as someone portraying the iconic singer-songwriter behind hits such as "I Walk The Line" and "Ring of Fire".
A Complete Unknown's director, James Mangold, previously directed Joaquin Phoenix in the role of Johnny Cash in his 2005 film Walk the Line, leading Phoenix to an Oscar nomination and a first-time win for Reese Witherspoon, who starred as June Carter.
Now, Holbrook, who starred in Mangold's Logan, steps into the shoes that Phoenix once walked in.
The clip also includes a snippet of Chalamet as Dylan, who leans against the fence of what looks to be an apartment complex or motel, watching on as Cash creates chaos in his convertible.
Chalamet has been living with the role of Bob Dylan for more than five years, getting cast in 2019 with the pandemic and SAG-AFTRA strike putting the project on pause.
In a recent press conference, Chalamet said his performance "is an interpretation. This is not a definitive act," making it clear to audiences who go to watch this film that his performance is just that, a performance.
Mangold said something similar in the press conference, posing the question, "Is it possible to really know the real anybody?" when asked if it was possible to ever truly know the real Bob Dylan.
A Complete Unknown hits theaters on December 25, 2024.
