James Mangold's ‘A Complete Unknown’ Set For December 25 Release

So, it’s official — James Mangold’s “A Complete Unknown” will be released on Christmas Day 2024, per Searchlight.

This is the buzzy Bob Dylan biopic starring Timothee Chalamet. It’s obviously going for Oscars and will be skipping all of the fall fests. I should also briefly mention that it’s set to test screen this week in Texas.

Mangold biopic started production in March and wrapped up its shoot in May. A quick turnaround. A trailer was released last month for the film. The cast is starry; Chalamet playing Dylan. Edward Norton (Pete Seeger), Elle Fanning (Suze Rotolo), Monica Barbaro (Joan Baez) and Nick Offerman (Alan Lomax) and Boyd Holbrook (Johnny Cash).

Mangold (“Ford V Ferrari,” “Logan”) has described “A Complete Unknown” as “Altman-esque, an ensemble piece” that will involve a mosaic of artists such as Guthrie, Baez, Cash and Seeger. Former film critic Jay Cocks wrote the script. He’s only written five films in 30 years, including “The Age of Innocence,” “Silence,” “Gangs of New York,” and “Strange Days.”
