Elle will star as Sylvie Russo, a renamed version of Bob's girlfriend from the time while Monica will play Joan Baez. 

The movie centres on the singer-songwriter's controversial switch to electric instruments at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Timothée - who will be joined in the cast by Edward Norton and Boyd Holbrook - was confirmed to be doing his own singing in the movie after lending his vocals to his 2023 musical flick Wonka.

Director James Mangold confirmed that he has been working with Bob on the project and that the Hurricane singer had some personal input into the screenplay.

During an appearance on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the filmmaker said: 'I've spent several, wonderfully charming, days in his company, just one-on-one, talking to him.

'I have a script that's personally annotated by him and treasured by me. He loves movies. The first time I sat down with Bob, one of the first things he said to me was, "I love Cop Land."'

While the picture will cover his early years, the director emphasised that A Complete Unknown wasn’t strictly a biopic about the musician.

He explained: 'By the way, it's not really a Bob Dylan biopic.'

He added: 'The reason Bob has been so supportive of us making it, is it's about, as in all cases I think the best true-life movies are never cradle to grave but they're about a very specific moment.

'In this case, it might sound Altman-esque, but it's a kind of ensemble piece about this moment in time, the early 60s in New York, and this 17-year-old kid with $16 in his pocket hitchhikes his way to New York to meet Woody Guthrie who is in the hospital and is dying of a nerve disease,' he finished.

Timothée gave fans a first look at the highly anticipated film's poster via Instagram in late August just after the first trailer was released, giving fans taste of the New York native in action.

And he has been seen channeling the singer on set on various occasions.

An insider close to the actor shared that a lot is at stake for him: 'There's a lot of pressure to get it right. Bob Dylan fans are insane and will tear him [Timothée] apart if he gets it wrong.'

The title — A Complete Unknown — is recognisable from Dylan's rock anthem which changed his career, Like a Rolling Stone.
