New footage of Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan in the upcoming biopic A Complete Unknown has emerged online – watch below.

Last month, the Dune star was captured in New Jersey filming a scene alongside Monica Barbaro, who plays Joan Baez.

Now, fans have been sharing footage of Chalamet in scenes in Hoboken with Edward Norton (who plays Pete Seeger).

The biopic, which is currently titled after lyrics in Dylan’s song ‘Like A Rolling Stone’, will also star Elle Fanning and Boyd Holbrook.

Watch the footage and see a selection of behind-the-scenes images here:

The movie is set to explore Dylan’s transition to using the electric guitar in the ’60s, his rise to fame, and his subsequent achievement of icon status in the folk-rock music industry.

It was confirmed by director James Mangold last year that Chalamet will sing in A Complete Unknown, with the actor having showcased his vocal abilities in the recent musical movie Wonka.

Speaking to Collider at the time, Mangold (Walk The Line and Girl, Interrupted) said: “It’s such an amazing time in American culture, and the story of Bob’s – a young, 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years.”

He continued: “First being embraced into a family of folk music in New York and of course kind of outrunning him at a certain point as his star rises so beyond belief.

“It’s such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in the American scene.”

In a recent interview with NME alongside his Dune: Part Two co-star Austin Butler, Chalamet said he would have liked Butler’s version of Elvis Presley, from the Baz Luhrmann hit Elvis, to appear in A Complete Unknown.
