Timothée Chalamet shared the first official poster for his new movie A Complete Unknown
On Friday the Golden Globe winner, 28 — who insiders say has ‘frat boy’ behavior behind the scenes — took to Instagram to write, ‘INCOMING’ next to the moody poster.
He channeled the folk and rock icon while wearing black sunglasses, a striped button up shirt and a dark blazer.
And his hair was worn in wild, fluffy curls.
A Complete Unknown is slated to hit theatres on Christmas Day.
Timothée Chalamet took to Instagram to share the official poster for his latest film, A Complete Unknown.
The movie will see the Dune star portray Bob Dylan and centers on the singer-songwriter’s controversial switch to electric instruments at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.
Chalamet — who will be joined in the cast by Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, Boyd Holbrook and Monica Barbaro — was confirmed to be doing his own singing in the movie after lending his vocals to his 2023 musical flick Wonka.
Director James Mangold confirmed that he has been working with Dylan on the project and that the Like A Rolling Stone singer had some personal input into the screenplay.
During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the filmmaker said: ‘I’ve spent several, wonderfully charming, days in his company, just one-on-one, talking to him.
‘I have a script that’s personally annotated by him and treasured by me. He loves movies. The first time I sat down with Bob, one of the first things he said to me was, “I love Cop Land.”‘
While the picture will cover Dylan’s early years, the Logan director emphasized that Complete Unknown wasn’t strictly a biopic about the musician.
He explained: ‘By the way, it’s not really a Bob Dylan biopic.
‘The reason Bob has been so supportive of us making it, is it’s about, as in all cases I think the best true-life movies are never cradle to grave but they’re about a very specific moment.
‘In this case, it might sound Altman-esque, but it’s a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time, the early 60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pocket hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease,’ he finished.

Chalamet sharing the upcoming film’s poster comes just after the first trailer was released for A Complete Unknown, giving fans taste of the New York native in action.
And he has been seen channeling the singer on set on various occasions.
An insider close to the actor shared that a lot is at stake for him: ‘There’s a lot of pressure to get it right. Bob Dylan fans are insane and will tear him [Timothee] apart if he gets it wrong.’
The title — A Complete Unknown — is recognizable from Dylan’s rock anthem which changed his career, Like a Rolling Stone.
