James Mangold, the director of A Complete Unknown, has said claims that singer Bob Dylan wanted a fake scene added to the biopic are pure "fiction" which stem from a misunderstanding in an interview.

Disney's “A Complete Unknown” continued its reign atop the U.K. and Ireland box office, bringing in £1.2 million ($1.5 million) in its third weekend and pushing its total to £8.3 million ($10.3 million),

It might at first seem obvious why filmmakers won’t leave the subject of Bob Dylan alone. Search “Dylan” and “movies,” and the list — from documentaries like “Don’t Look Back” (1967) to fictionalized treatments like “I’m Not There” (2007) — turns out to be surprisingly extensive.

The film’s title, “A Complete Unknown,” serves as a guide for how it approaches its subject material. Mangold’s script works to uphold the mythology of Dylan as an unknowable artist — who, from the beginning, was reluctant to be defined by others and by himself.

Bob Dylan goes from feeling stuck in the folk bubble to branching off into an experimental sound, becoming one of the pioneers of folk rock. The movie encapsulates the “experimental creative” and was made for those who want to put their artwork into a world that may not be ready for it.
