There can't be anything harder than having to play an icon on screen. Fighting the comparisons with the real thing is almost impossible, but Timothée Chalamet is going to take the challenge. He's starring in a pic on the life of 60's folk hero Bob Dylan. The flick, announced almost a year ago, is called "A Complete Unknown," a line from Dylan's "Like A Rolling Stone."

The film will also reportedly star Edward Norton (possibly as Pete Seeger) and Elle Fanning (as one of Dylan's early 60's love interests.) 

But here's what's really unusual, although it's by no means confirmed to happen at all. Chalamet wants Austin Butler to appear in the film as Elvis, the same role the actor played in a previous biopic that won him a Best Actor Oscar.

No word yet on whether it will happen, but it would certainly make for an interesting bit of casting, especially since both actors are currently onscreen in the same picture - Dune Part Two.
