Tantalized by the buzz around James Mangold‘s historical rock drama A Complete Unknown? By the end of the month all you’ll need to see it is a Hulu subscription. It’s been announced for a March 27 streaming debut.
The title itself is referring to its subject, Bob Dylan…one of the most iconic rock and roll artists of all time, and certainly not an unknown person. Yet there was a time when nobody knew who Dylan was. He arrived in 1961 New York at just nineteen, hailing from Minnesota, and he knew no one either. As luck would have it, he would not only land bigger and bigger gigs but form friendships along the way with other future music stars, like Pete Seeger and Joan Baez.
Timothée Chalamet stars as Bob Dylan, alongside Edward Norton as Pete Seeger, Elle Fanning as Sylvie Russo, Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash and Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie.
There was speculation that A Complete Unknown could sweep the Oscars, but it wound up winning none of the eight awards it was nominated for, including Best Picture (that one went to Anora instead, which is on Hulu right now). Just getting a nom is a sign of honor, though. You’ll be able to find A Complete Unknown on streaming March 27, but it’s also purchasable on digital now and will come to disc formats on April 1.
