Watching James Mangold\u2019s <\/span>A Complete Unknown<\/i><\/b> \u2013 starring Timoth\u00e9e Chalamet as the one and only Bob Dylan during the early years of his career \u2013 is like unearthing a time capsule and being transported back in time to the early ’60s of the burgeoning folk scene. This includes everything from the famed block on MacDougal Street where much of that scene got its start, the Columbia Records studios where Dylan recorded his early records, the iconic Chelsea Hotel, and eventually, the Newport Folk Festival. Those are just a few of the dozens of locations necessary to tell Dylan\u2019s story.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

As much as the movie is about the astounding performances by Chalamet and the rest of Mangold\u2019s cast, the authenticity in recreating the times can be attributed to the work of production designer Fran\u00e7ois Audouy and his team. They literally found most of the locations in New Jersey and then built or dressed up whatever was necessary to make you truly feel as if you\u2019re back in the ’60s, watching Dylan\u2019s rise to fame.<\/span><\/p>\n

Cinema Daily US<\/span><\/i> had a chance to speak with Audouy about how Mangold approached him to design their fourth movie together. Besides speaking about some of the specific locations and how they came about, we also spoke to Audouy about how he and the filmmaker made two very different looking Wolverine movies with <\/span>The Wolverine<\/i><\/b> and <\/span>Logan<\/i><\/b>. You can watch the interview in the video above, which includes many great behind-the-scenes photos of the designs and work done by Audouy and his team.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Complete Unknown<\/i><\/b> opens nationwide on Christmas Day, December 25. You can watch Nobuhiro Hosoki\u2019s interviews with actors <\/span>Edward Norton<\/span><\/a> and <\/span>Monica Barbaro<\/span><\/a>, as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
