One of the year’s most eagerly awaited films is set to make its grand debut on Christmas Day, and it just got an electrifying new reveal. The official X account for Searchlight Pictures has unveiled the first captivating poster for “A Complete Unknown,” the highly anticipated Bob Dylan biopic featuring the versatile Timothée Chalamet in the lead role. This film has also brought together a stellar ensemble cast, including the talents of Edward Norton, Boyd Holbrook, Elle Fanning, Scoot McNairy, and Michael Chernus. This exciting poster drop follows the release of the first trailer, which left fans buzzing with curiosity about whether Chalamet himself was singing in it. Adding to the excitement, the film secured its official release date for December 25th, making it the second consecutive year a Chalamet movie will light up the holiday season (following “Wonka” in 2023).
“A Complete Unknown” is directed by the accomplished James Mangold, a filmmaker with an impressive resume, including two Oscar nominations for “Ford v Ferrari” (Best Picture) and “Logan” (Best Adapted Screenplay). Mangold’s latest work includes directing the fifth and likely final Indiana Jones movie, “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” starring Harrison Ford. Mangold’s directorial journey began in 1995 with his debut film “Heavy,” a romantic drama featuring Pruitt Taylor Vance and Liv Tyler. Notably, two of his most renowned films, “3:10 to Yuma” (starring Christian Bale and Russell Crowe) and “Knight and Day” (starring Tom Cruise and Cameron Diaz), are set to arrive on streaming platforms in September—Netflix for “3:10 to Yuma” and Max for “Knight and Day.”
Timothée Chalamet continues to prove himself as a formidable box office magnet. His recent movies, “Wonka” and “Dune: Part Two,” have each grossed over $500 million worldwide. Several of his other films have also crossed significant financial milestones: the first “Dune” movie garnered more than $425 million globally, while Greta Gerwig’s “Little Women” earned over $200 million worldwide. Chalamet’s box office prowess was first recognized with his role in Christopher Nolan’s 2014 space epic, “Interstellar,” where he shared the screen with Matthew McConaughey and Jessica Chastain.
Mark your calendars for December 25th to catch “A Complete Unknown” in theaters. Meanwhile, you can view the newly released poster and stream Timothée Chalamet’s other blockbuster hit, “Dune: Part Two,” now available on Max.
