Searchlight Pictures has released a new featurette of the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, which spotlights Timothee Chalamet as he sings and plays live on set in character as the iconic musician. The video features interviews with director James Mangold and Chalamet, along with other members of the cast such as Elle Fanning, Boyd Holbrook, and Edward Norton.
