Chalamet is in talks to play Bob Dylan in the forthcoming biopic, Going Electric , directed by James Mangold. The movie will follow the musician on his rise to fame. It has been reported that Chalamet is already taking guitar lessons in preparation for the role. December 2020 will see the release of Dune , the adaptation of a classic sci-fi novel, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Set to be one of the biggest movies of the year, this movie has generated huge hype on social media, largely due to Chalamet's Keanu Reeves-inspired look as the lead role. This could be the most stylish sci-fi epic since The Matrix . In June 2020, Woody Allen's new movie, A Rainy Day in New York , topped the global box office, grossing $21 million since its release, cementing the status of its protagonist Timothée Chalamet as cinema's latest teen heartthrob.
