James Mangold’s A Complete Unknown not only explores Bob Dylan’s life, but also the notable people who surrounded him. Names like Joan Baez, Johnny Cash and Pete Seeger are included in the story and Mangold has a cast of actors worth promoting. ScreenRant now reveals on their social media the new character posters for the characters from A Complete Unknown, which includes a new incarnation of Johhny Cash after Mangold already covered his story in Walk the Line with Joaquin Phoenix in the role.

A Complete Unknown, which stars Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning and Monica Barbaro. The film also co-stars Boyd Holbrook, Dan Fogler, Norbert Leo Butz and Scoot McNairy, with the studio also giving it a December 25th wide release.

Charles “Todd” Hill, who starred on the HGTV show Flip It to Win It, has been sentenced to prison in California for committing real estate and financial fraud against 11 victims, prosecutors said.

“The show’s concept was that he bought dilapidated homes, fixed them up, and then sold them for a profit. Instead, Hill spent millions on overbudget remodels, laundered profits, and pocketed millions in fraudulently obtained money,” the Santa Clara County District Attorney’s Office wrote.

A judge last week sentenced 58-year-old Hill to serve four years in jail and pay nearly $10 million in restitution to victims.

Hill was convicted last year of multiple fraud schemes, including scams perpetrated well before the show was launched, prosecutors said.

“Evidence showed that Hill spent the laundered money on a rented apartment in San Francisco, as well as hotels, vacations, and luxury cars,” the Da’s office said.

Hill created a Ponzi scheme,...

Former HGTV star Charles “Todd” Hill is facing some serious legal troubles. He is being ordered to pay nearly $10 million in institutions and has been sentenced to four years in Santa Clara County Jail after he was tied to multiple fraud schemes. Keep reading to see what was uncovered during the trial and when Todd will be serving his sentence.

Why Is Charles ‘Todd’ Hill Going To Jail?

Todd Hill appeared on Flip It To Win It in 2014. The program showed five teams of “expert flippers” who bid against each other on houses, sight unseen. Whichever team sold their house for the most cash won the challenge.

The show only aired for one season, but he gained notoriety for his work on the program. Unfortunately, what he will be remembered for now is the real estate and financial fraud he has been accused of.

“My most played artist this year might have been Bob Dylan. Not to be on cue,” Timothee joked when asked about his listening habits. He’s not listening to the same music as most fans, though.

“This might earn the ire and wrath of a lot of Bob fans, rightfully,” he said, “but [Jeff] sent me...

Somewhere out there, there is an unfinished song by Post Malone based on his idol Bob Dylan’s lyrics, according to a new report from Rolling Stone.

In a lengthy interview with the magazine, producer Michael Cash revealed the track was intended for a collection of Dylan songs inspired by the 2014 T Bone Burnett-produced album, Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, which saw the likes of Marcus Mumford, Jim James, and Elvis Costello recording songs based on newly uncovered Dylan lyrics. Cash’s vision was to create his own album featuring songs recorded by rappers Kendrick Lamar and J. Cole, as well as the hip-hop-influenced Malone, a well-known Dylan fan.

According to Cash, Dylan’s representative, Jeff Rosen, responded to his pitch about collaborating with Malone by teasing that Dylan had “something in mind that he wants to craft specifically for this,” though a source close to...

A few years ago, producer Michael Cash had an idea he thought could be big. Cash is based in New York’s Hudson Valley, a region rich in Bob Dylan history. Early in the pandemic, he got to thinking about a relatively obscure Dylan-related project from the mid-2010s: Lost on the River: The New Basement Tapes, in which artists like Elvis Costello, Marcus Mumford, and Rhiannon Giddens recorded songs based on newly uncovered Dylan lyrics.

Cash, whose background is largely in hip-hop, was friendly with the album’s producer,...

Timothée Chalamet is in talks to play Bob Dylan in upcoming biopic from Walk the Line director James Mangold.

Folk music enthusiasts loved Bob Dylan when he played his acoustic set at the 1963 Newport Folk Festival. But reports said Dylan "electrified one half of his audience, and electrocuted the other" when he plugged in for his July 25, 1965 appearance. While the sound engineer of the show contradicts it, the press wrote Dylan was booed during the set. A filmmaker caught an audience member calling the singer "Judas" before Dylan instructed the band "play it fucking loud," and tore into "Like a Rolling Stone." The incident will be the basis of James Mangold's upcoming as-yet-untitled film. Timothée Chalamet is in talks to play Dylan, according to Deadline.

The feature will be based on Elijah Wald’s 2015 book Dylan Goes Electric. The screenplay was written by former Time and Newsweek film critic Jay Cocks,...

“Little Women” leading man Timothée Chalamet is in talks to star as folk music icon Bob Dylan in a biopic directed by “Ford v. Ferrari” director James Mangold.

The film, which is still untitled at this point, will follow Dylan during his ascension to the pinnacle of folk music and his 180 degree turn, trading in his acoustic guitar for an electric and embrace rock ‘n’ roll.

Chalamet starring is not a done deal, but Fox Searchlight has finalized a deal for the film.

In addition to “Little Women,” Chalamet starred in Netflix’s “The King” as well as “A Rainy Day in New York” in 2019. This year, as one of the most sought after young actors in Hollywood, he will appear in Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune” and Wes Anderson’s “The French Dispatch,” which is also set up at Fox Searchlight.

Exclusive: Searchlight Pictures has closed a deal with Ford V Ferrari helmer James Mangold to direct Going Electric. Timothee Chalamet is attached to play Bob Dylan during the period when he was poised to become folk music’s most seminal figure. When Dylan instead embraced rock n roll and traded his acoustic guitar for an amp and an electric guitar, it created a huge outcry. And it cemented the status of rock music. Dylan is working actively with Searchlight and Mangold on the film.

Negotiations are underway with Chalamet, who has gotten strong reviews for Little Women, and who next will make his London stage debut opposite Eileen Atkins in 4,000 Miles, the Old Vic production of Amy Herzog’s Pulitzer-nominated drama. The play bows April 16 and closes May 23rd. It is expected he will do Going Electric after that. Chalamet this year has the Wes Anderson-directed The French Dispatch...

The boxset will be released June 7th, while the film hits Netflix and select theaters June 12th.

Rolling Thunder Revue: The 1975 Live Recordings will comprise 14 CDs and 148 tracks, capturing five full Dylan sets from the tour that were professionally recorded. It will also include recently discovered tapes from Dylan’s tour rehearsals, which took place at S.

You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, but Bob Dylan fans have been waiting for some kind of reliable forecast to know when “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese” might be rolling in. Here’s that storm alert: Netflix will be releasing the documentary June 12.

Concurrent with the streaming release, the film is being booked into awards-qualifying theatrical engagements in New York and Los Angeles. The thunder will roll into other cities as well. The night before the official release, Netflix has one-time “road show” theatrical showings set for 20 cities.

Netflix is releasing some lovely key art for the long-anticipated doc, with watercolor florals adorning a vintage B&W portrait of Dylan:

After years of persistent rumors, it's been confirmed that Martin Scorsese has indeed teamed up with Bob Dylan for the new documentary Rolling Thunder Revue. The two previously worked together on 2005's No Direction Home but this time around, the legendary filmmaker will be chronicling the events of one of Dylan's most famous tours, his 1975-1976 Rolling Thunder Revue tour. The best part? The movie will be arriving on Netflix later this year.

According to a new report, even a release date for the documentary remains "months away," but Netflix has confirmed that the movie is coming this year, in addition to a few key details. The movie will be titled Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese. While billed as a documentary, it's said to not be quite as straightforward as No Direction Home was, but how exactly Scorsese intends to mix things up remains to be seen.

Martin Scorsese’s long-rumored documentary about Bob Dylan’s legendary “Rolling Thunder Revue” tour is headed to Netflix, Variety reports.

An exact release date has yet to be announced, and a source told Variety that such an announcement was still “months away.” However, Netflix did confirm a few details about the film, including its title, Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese, and that the famously interview-averse Dylan did speak on camera for the project.

Netflix also shared a short statement about the film: “Rolling Thunder Revue:...

For years, rumors have circulated among Bob Dylan fans that a documentary about his legendary, star-studded “Rolling Thunder Revue” tour of 1975-76 was in the works, and occasional whispers had a name attached: Martin Scorsese. Now, the cat can come officially out of the bag. Variety has exclusively learned that Netflix plans to release the movie in 2019, with the director’s name actually in the title: “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.”

The tightly-under-wraps project is said not to be quite as much of a straightforward documentary as Scorsese’s previous Dylan film, 2005’s “No Direction Home: Bob Dylan,” which zeroed in on Dylan’s crucial 1965-66 “going electric” period. “There’s a reason the word ‘story’ appears in the title,” said a source, hinting that the director may be playing with the form more in this particular film.

Upon further inquiry, Netflix provided Variety with...
