A Complete Unknown is following a typical release pattern from theaters to digital to streaming. The 2024 movie is a biopic of iconic folk musician Bob Dylan based on the 2015 Elijah Wald book Dylan Goes Electric! and focusing on his life during the early 1960s. The ensemble cast of the movie includes Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan, Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Dylan’s lightly fictionalized girlfriend Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.
James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown is the director’s first music biopic since 2005’s Walk the Line, which starred Joaquin Phoenix as Johnny Cash and was nominated for five Oscars, winning one. The new movie is already following in its footsteps, as it has earned three nominations at the 2025 Golden Globes, including one for Best Picture – Drama and one for Timothée Chalamet’s performance. Because it is a major awards contender, the movie will be available in a variety of venues over the course of its release.
