Timothée Chalamet is going electric in the new trailer for his Bob Dylan biopic.

On Tuesday, Oct. 8, Searchlight Pictures released the latest trailer for A Complete Unknown, in which Chalamet, 28, portrays legendary folk-rock musician Dylan, 83, through his rise in New York City and transition to recording and performing music with an electric guitar at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival.

The new trailer teases Chalamet’s singing voice as Dylan with songs like “Girl in the North Country” and “Like a Rolling Stone,” as well as his relationship and performances with singer-songwriter Joan Baez, portrayed by Monica Barbaro.

“Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music,” reads an official synopsis for the movie. “As he forms his most intimate relationships during his rise to fame, he grows restless with the folk movement and, refusing to be defined, makes a controversial choice that culturally reverberates worldwide.”
