‘A Complete Unknown’ Director James Mangold Calls Multi-Movie Universes “The Death Of Storytelling”


Director James Mangold promises his 'A Complete Unknown' film won't be a multiverse.

James Mangold is working hard on his Bob Dylan movie, A Complete Unknown. In a Rolling Stone interview, Mangold addressed a question on why star Timothée Chalamet, who plays Dylan, is seen in the teaser with a note from Johnny Cash. It stars Chalamet as Bob Dylan, Elle Fanning as his girlfriend, Sylvie Russo, (a renamed version of Dylan’s real-life girlfriend of that era, Suze Rotolo), Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez, and Edward Norton as Pete Seeger.
