Timothée Chalamet and James Mangold perfectly capture the paradox of Bob Dylan's unlikely rise and enduring appeal by leaving a mystery at the film's center.

With the new film A Complete Unknown now out, one of the burning questions that audiences have is whether Bob Dylan gave approval to the script during the making of the film.

We may as well start referring to him as Bob Dyláan with his commitment to biopic excellence. As recalled by one of A Complete Unknown’s producers on an episode of The Town podcast, the non–Timothée Dylan had full approval of what became the film’s final script — meaningful involvement that was encouraged by director James Mangold.
