Reshoots are reportedly underway on James Mangold’s Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown” starring Timothee Chalamet and Elle Fanning according to . The outlet reported the other week that a private screening of a ‘work in progress’ cut of the film garnered “mediocre reactions” with too much focus on the relationship between Dylan (Chalamet) and Sylvie Russo (Fanning) and overly long at two-and-a-half hours. So, reshoots have been called and are expected to last for several weeks.
It’s reported that Chalamet and a ‘good chunk’ of the cast are back on the set in New Jersey for these reshoots. The film has had a breakneck production pace – filming began in March and wrapped by May, with the first trailer released last month. It is still reportedly targeting a Christmas Day release.
The project deals with the folk scene of the early 1960s and Dylan’s rising stardom. Edward Norton, Monica Barbaro, Nick Offerman and Boyd Holbrook co-star. Former film critic Jay Cocks Jr.
wrote the script. He previously penned Kathryn Bigelow’s underrated “Strange Days,” Irwin Winkler’s “De-Lovely,” and three strong Scorsese period pieces – “The Age of Innocence,” “Silence,” “Gangs of New York” along with uncredited work on “The Last Temptation of Christ”..
