Perhaps the secret to modern-day success in the entertainment business is to name your project the opposite of what you want to happen to it. Example: the top-rated new series on Netflix in 2024 was called “Nobody Wants This.” There’s also this new indie movie distributed through Searchlight called “A Complete Unknown,” and despite that name, knowledge of its existence is rapidly becoming common. So is the Oscar buzz.
The title itself is referring to its subject, Bob Dylan…one of the most iconic rock and roll artists of all time, and certainly not an unknown person. Yet there was a time when nobody knew who Dylan was. He arrived in 1961 New York at just nineteen, hailing from Minnesota, and he knew no one either. As luck would have it, he would not only land bigger and bigger gigs but form friendships along the way with other future music stars, like Pete Seeger and Joan Baez. Timothée Chalamet stars as Bob Dylan, alongside Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.
A Complete Unknown has been nominated for 8 Academy Awards including Best Picture, Best Director for James Mangold and Best Actor for Timothée Chalamet, as well as 6 BAFTA Awards including Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor for Edward Norton and Best Picture. The digital release is happening later this month while the Blu-Ray and 4K Blu-Ray releases happen at the beginning of April. Both releases will contain the following bonus features:
- The Making of A Complete Unknown
- The Story
- Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan
- The Supporting Cast
- The Design
- Audio Commentary by James Mangold
Look for A Complete Unknown on digital February 25, and on disc April 1. You can also still catch it in theaters….
