Timothée Chalamet is playing Bob Dylan in a biopic. But can he sing like Dylan? Watch.

People have been trying to make a Bob Dylan biopic for years. Now it’s finally in production with Timothée Chalamet starring as Zimmy. It will chronicle Dylan’s early years in New York (when he was a complete unknown, hence the title of the film) right up until the 1965 Newport Folk Festival when he broke out the electric guitar for the first time. The film also features Edward Norton as Pete Seeger and Monica Barbaro as Joan Baez.

And yes, Chalamet is doing his own singing in the film as this first trailer shows.
