Director James Mangold has dismissed claims that Bob Dylan requested a fabricated scene in the new biopic A Complete Unknown as “fiction” stemming from a misinterpreted interview.
Prior to the UK release of the film, actor Edward Norton, who portrays Pete Seeger, suggested in a Rolling Stone interview that Dylan, having approved the script, wanted a single falsehood incorporated. This remark was subsequently interpreted as confirmation of a deliberately inaccurate scene within the movie.
