About the Film: “A Complete Unknown” is an exciting feature film that follows the journey of a 19-year-old Bob Dylan (played by Timothée Chalamet) as he arrives in New York City in 1961 in search of his hero, an ailing Woody Guthrie. The film portrays Dylan’s immersion into the vibrant New York folk scene, where he encounters iconic figures like Pete Seeger (Benedict Cumberbatch) and Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) who recognize his extraordinary talent. Bob Dylan’s rise to fame takes him from gigs in downtown clubs to becoming a sensation under contract at Columbia Records. The story captures his transformation into a cultural phenomenon, his profound relationships in the folk music world, and his eventual departure from folk music to form a band, leaving his fans and the music community bewildered. The film is currently experiencing a production delay due to the WGA/SAG-AFTRA strike and is also known by the working title “WURTZLE BROTHERS.”
