Elle Fanning («Great») will play Dylan’s beloved woman, the artist Sylvie Rousseau, and Edward Norton («Fight Club») will appear as musician Pete Seeger (Benedict Cumberbatch was supposed to play him, but he refused due to scheduling problems).

Director James Mangold returns to making a biopic after the successful launch of «Ford v Ferrari» in 2019, based on the book by American writer and journalist E.J. Baim.
«This is the story of 19-year-old Bob Dylan, who came to New York with $2 in his pocket and became a worldwide sensation. It is interesting, true and important for America and the American scene. It has different characters: Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, and Joan Baez. Everyone will play their own role in this movie,» Mangold said in an interview Collider.
The release date of the biopic, tentatively titled «A Complete Unknown», has not yet been announced.
