After watching Austin Butler in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis Presley biopic, Timothée Chalamet was impressed to “step it up” when portraying Bob Dylan in a brand new film.
Speaking with GQ Magazine, Chalamet mentioned he’s been rigorously working with the crew who helped put together Butler to play Elvis so as to remodel into Bob Dylan within the upcoming A Complete Unknown biopic.
“You asked me what I’ve been doing in LA this year? I’ve basically been working with [Butler’s] entire Elvis team for my Dylan prep,” Chalamet mentioned. “There’s a wonderful dialect coach named Tim Monich. Vocal coach named Eric Vetro. Movement coach named Polly Bennett. I just saw the way he committed to it all, and realized I needed to step it up.”
What do we all know in regards to the Bob Dylan Biopic, A Complete Unknown?
A Complete Unknown is directed by Logan’s James Mangold. The challenge was initially introduced in 2020; nonetheless, the COVID-19 pandemic, Mangold’s dedication to directing Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and the continued Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (SAG-AFTRA) strike have delayed the movie’s manufacturing.
Mangold beforehand advised Collider in regards to the film, “It’s such an amazing time in American culture and the story of Bob, a young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with $2 in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years first being embraced and kind of into the family of folk music in New York. And then of course, kind of out running them at a certain point as his star rises. It’s so beyond belief, it’s such an interesting true story and about such an interesting moment in America, the American scene, different characters from Woody Guthrie to Bob Dylan, to Pete Seeger, to Joan Baez. All have a role to play in this movie.”
Elvis is at the moment streaming on Prime Video and Max. Butler and Chalamet, in the meantime, are each starring in Dune: Part Two, which releases on March 15, 2024.
