No word yet on whether a rumored Christian Bale has been confirmed to join Timothee Chalamet in James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic, but we do know it is no longer titled “Going Electric.”
Mangold confirmed on Twitter that it is now called “A Complete Unknowm.” This new title is taken from a lyric in Dylan’s most famous song “Like A Rolling Stone.”
The Dylan biopic had been greenlit by Fox Searchlight during the pandemic. Then, a Collider interview, in late 2021, with cinematographer Phedon Papamichael, claimed the film got shelved. However, Chalamet mentioned last month that the project was back on and “coming soon.” Mangold started hinting about it as well on social media.
“Going Electric” is said to follow Dylan as he “rises to fame on his way to becoming a folk music icon.” This would ideally take place during the singer’s beginnings in the 1960 folk scene in New York City’s Greenwich Village up until Dylan’s 1966 motorcycle crash.
In the meantime, Mangold is currently in post-production for Indiana Jones 5. His track record as a director is more-than-decent, his filmography includes the likes of “Ford v Ferrari” “Logan,” and “I Walk the Line.”
As expected, Snyder's latest is being torn apart by TIFF attendees. No mercy given. The film, which had its world premiere this evening, is being called by some one of the worst movies to ever premiere at the festival.
