New Bob Dylan biopic has serious 'Dewey Cox vibes'

A new trailer has just been released A complete unknownDirector James Mangold's highly anticipated biopic of the legendary Bob Dylan starring Timothée Chalamet. The story ends around 1965, which means we won't get a scene where Chalamet hits a microphone with a tiny Ikea wrench when wearing age make-up.

A complete unknown looks like a typical Hollywood music biopic full of obvious eye-roll-inducing moments. And it's almost impossible to accept such formulaic music biopics, not only because Hollywood has practically bankrupted the genre at this point, but also because they were so perfectly parodied in 2007 Go Hard: The Dewey Cox Story.

Swiss chard has admittedly enjoying it Go hardwhich was primarily a nod to his earlier music biopic, Walk along the line. But for some reason he seems to be turning back to those Dewey Cox-esque elements instead of avoiding them. Overly dramatic statements as Dylan enters a recording studio? Check. Eye-catching name checks on famous musicians we wouldn't otherwise recognize? Check. Dylan being harassed by his girlfriend while secretly having an affair? Check.
