Bob Dylan is an immeasurable force of music, but James Mangold will attempt to capture some of his essences in the biopic ‘A Complete Direction.’ Timothée Chalamet, who plays Dylan, has found another commendable co-star in Elle Fanning.

The 25-year-old actress was last seen in films ‘The Roads Not Taken’ and ‘All The Bright Places.’ She also appeared in the Hulu series ‘The Great‘ and ‘The Girl From Plainville.’  In the Bob Dylan biopic, she plays a romantic partner who greatly influences Dylan’s ideology around music and the world.

Elle Fanning’s Role In ‘A Complete Unknown’

Elle Fanning has boarded the cast for the Bob Dylan Biopic ‘A Complete Unknown.’ The ‘Super 8’ actress plays Sylvie Russo, a university student, and an artist. They met during the 60s and had a romantic relationship, greatly influencing Dylan’s music and political leanings. Timothee Chalamet will play the unwashed phenomenon that was Bob Dylan.

It is believed that Elle Fanning’s character is inspired by Suze Rotolo. She was an artist and dated Dylan from 1961-64. When she met him, Rotolo worked full-time as a political activist in the Congress of Racial Equality (CORE) office. His memoir, ‘Chronicles, Volume One,’ vividly describes his instant attraction to her and how she inspired his work. Dylan fans will recognize Rotolo as the woman on the cover of ‘The Freewheelin’ Bob Dylan.’
