There’s the business of making movies and then there’s the business of marketing movies. Things seem to have gone well on both fronts for "A Complete Unknown," as Timothée Chalamet’s Bob Dylan movie is performing well at the box office and earning rave reviews from critics and fans. That doesn’t mean, however, that the stars and the studio were in alignment the whole time, at least when it comes to the marketing.

Edward Norton recently sat down for an interview with Variety to discuss the movie and his stand-out role as musician Pete Seeger, which could earn the acclaimed actor his fourth Oscar nomination. During the conversation, the subject of Chalamet’s performance and how incredibly good it is came up, and Norton dropped a little anecdote about the proposed social media campaign. Apparently, the studio wanted to record all the behind-the-scenes work of him trying to get into character as Dylan, and he was having no part of it, much to the excitement of Norton, who thought it was a terrible idea.
