James Mangold’s upcoming Bob Dylan biopic, A Complete Unknown, will be released in the UK in January 2025.
Earlier in August, we got word that A Complete Unknown, James Mangold’s highly-anticipated Bob Dylan biopic, would be heading into US cinemas on Christmas day while a UK date, believed to be in December still, was pending.
Well, it seems that we got your hopes up a little too early. Sorry about that, but it now looks like Searchlight Pictures has locked in the 17th January for A Complete Unknown to hit the screens in the UK.
There’s also a new poster to go with the release date announcement. You can check that out below.
Timothée Chalamet is playing the iconic musician in Mangold’s biopic and will be joined by a pretty dazzling supporting cast, including Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Dan Fogler as Albert Grossman, P.J. Byrne as Harold Leventhal, Norbert Leo Butz as Alan Lomax, Will Harrison as Bob Neuwirth and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.
Here’s the full synopsis for A Complete Unknown, in italics and all:
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.
We’ll leave you with A Complete Unknown trailer.
