What’s the plot of A Complete Unknown?
While the plot is still largely under wraps, we know that the film will follow a 19-year-old Dylan as he arrives in New York City from Minnesota, seeking a career in music and ultimately becoming the stuff of rock and roll legend. “It’s such an amazing time in American culture and the story of a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with, like, two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years,” Mangold told Collider during a red-carpet interview in April 2023. “First being embraced into the family of folk music in New York, and kind of outrunning them at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.”
Who else is in the cast of A Complete Unknown?
Elle Fanning stars as Sylvie Russo, Dylan’s fictional girlfriend, a character inspired by Dylan’s real-life former girlfriend and muse Suze Rotolo. Edward Norton will play Dylan’s fellow folk musician Pete Seeger, Monica Barbaro will play a young Joan Baez, and Boyd Holbrook will be Johnny Cash.
