Timothée Chalamet appeared in Minneapolis on Thursday to promote the upcoming Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown.”

Chalamet plays Dylan in the film, which chronicles the legendary singer-songwriter’s rise to fame after moving to New York in 1961. The cinema release is scheduled for December 25th.

Fans suspected something might be up when Chalamet posted a maroon and gold “M” – the University of Minnesota’s distinctive logo – to his Instagram Story late Wednesday night.

U of M students report receiving direct invitations to a question-and-answer session with the actor in Minneapolis on Thursday, followed by a post-screening reception.

Marketing agency Allied Global Marketing confirmed to MPR News that Chalamet will indeed be attending a screening of “A Complete Unknown” at Main Cinema. He is scheduled to appear on the red carpet before a screening at 6:30 p.m. As-yet-unidentified local musicians and other VIPs are also expected to attend.

On Thursday around 2:37 p.m., Chalamet also posted a photo of the Varsity Theater on his Instagram Story with the text that simply read: “TONITE.” Soon after, fans began posting photos and videos of him on the University of Minnesota campus publish.

It’s a fitting start to the film. Bob Dylan completed a semester at the U of M before dropping out to become a musician. He began his career in the off-campus Dinkytown neighborhood, learning from quiet local legends like “Spider” John Koerner.

Chalamet was spotted in Dylan’s hometown of Hibbing, attended a high school there earlier this year and recently received Dylan’s recognition for his performance.

According to a Searchlight Pictures page, there are three more screenings of “A Complete Unknown” starring Chalamet coming up. Others are planned for Nashville, Atlanta and Los Angeles.
