Searchlight Pictures’ A Complete Unknown, starring Timothée Chalamet portraying Bob Dylan, will premiere on the Disney+ streaming service in the UK and Ireland on April 30th.

Directed by Academy Award nominee James Mangold, A Complete Unknown offers an intimate portrayal of Dylan’s transformative years in the early 1960s – capturing his evolution from a burgeoning folk artist to a cultural icon.

The film delves into Dylan’s relationships with contemporaries such as Woody Guthrie (Scoot McNairy), Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro) and Pete Seeger (Edward Norton), whose influence shaped his early sound and whose reaction to Dylan’s electric set at Newport became the stuff of legend. The film also stars Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo and Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash.

Written by Mangold and Jay Cocks, the film is produced by Fred Berger, Mangold, Alex Heineman, Bob Bookman, Peter Jaysen, Alan Gasmer, Jeff Rosen and Chalamet.

A Complete Unknown was named one of the top-10 films of 2024 by the American Film Institute and the National Board of Review. The film also earned eight nominations at the 97th Academy Awards.
