Bob Dylan himself is one of the film’s executive producers, and Mangold previously said that Chalamet will do his own singing for the movie. The movie is co-produced by James Mangold, who co-wrote the film alongside Jay Cocks. (Dylan famously dated artist Suze Rotolo, who appears on the cover of The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan, for several years during that same period, but Deadline and IMDB both cite Fanning’s character as Sylvie Russo.)Ī Complete Unknown will begin production in New York this summer. Also joining the cast is Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, a university student and artist billed as Dylan’s love interest in the early ’60s. Timothée Chalamet will play Dylan, while Monica Barbaro has been in talks to portray Joan Baez. He was an early supporter of the then-rising artist, helped his debut album land at Columbia, and invited him to perform at Newport Folk Festival. Pete Seeger (January 27, 2014) was an American folk singer, political activist and author, and a key figure in the mid-20th century American folk music revival.He is particularly loved as the author (or co-author) of the songs Where Have All the Flowers Gone, If I Had a Hammer, and Turn, Turn, Turn. As a legendary folk musician and longtime influence to Dylan, with regard to both his music and activism, Seeger plays a crucial part in Dylan’s real-life story. The movie centers around Dylan’s groundbreaking electric set at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. Benedict Cumberbatch has been cast to portray Pete Seeger in the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, director James Mangold told Deadline in a new interview.
