Come gather 'round people, wherever you roam, because the teaser trailer for A Complete Unknown has officially arrived.

The first look at James Mangold’s (Indiana Jones, Logan) upcoming Bob Dylan biopic sees Timothée Chalamet channel the iconic singer-songwriter as he performs his 1962 classic “A Hard Rain’s A-Gonna Fall” in front of a large audience. That really is Chalamet singing the track, too — the actor took vocal lessons in order to provide his own spin on the Bard’s legendary material.

“A few months back, my friend Woody Guthrie and I, we met a young man,” Edward Norton, who plays as folk singer Pete Seeger, says ahead of the performance. “He dropped in on us out of nowhere and he played us a song. In that moment, we got a feeling we were getting a glimpse of the future.”

Chalamet can also be seen traveling past several major New York City landmarks from Dylan’s life like Cafe Wha? — where he performed his first gig — and the Chelsea Hotel. As his fame grows, he finds himself caught up not only in a storm of popularity, but a love triangle between his first love Sylvie Russo (Elle Fanning) and fellow folk singer Joan Baez (Monica Barbaro).

The trailer comes after Chalamet was spotted filming at multiple locations in NYC back in March. The film, which was written by Mangold and Jay Cocks, is set in the early 1960s and follows 19-year-old musician Bob Dylan’s meteoric rise to fame up until his unforgettable rock performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965.

Mangold told Collider last year that he considered the time period to be “such an amazing time in American culture" and Dylan's life. He added, “A young 19-year-old Bob Dylan coming to New York with two dollars in his pocket and becoming a worldwide sensation within three years. First being embraced into a family of folk music in New York and of course kind of outrunning him at."

The film also stars Boyd Holbrook as Johnny Cash, Scoot McNairy as Woody Guthrie, Charlie Tahan as Al Kooper, and Dan Fogler as Dylan’s manager, Albert Grossman.

A Complete Unknown knock, knock, knocks on movie theater doors this December. Watch the trailer above.
