Bob Dylan's classic 1975 album " Blood On The Tracks" may well become a movie. Entertainment Weekly has reported that Brazilian based duo Rodrigo Teixeira and Fernando Loureiro of production company RT Features have purchased the movie rights to the album.
"Blood on The Tracks" was recorded at a time when Dylans marriage to Sara Lownds was going to pieces. According to Rodrigo Teixeira and Fernando Loureiro they will produce an English-language feature film based on the album, which includes "If You See Her Say Hello", "Simple Twist of Fate" and "Tangled Up In Blue." Q Magazine reviewed the drama of the album thus "Against the backdrop of his own collapsing marriage, it's as close as he ever got to the confessional school of singer-songwriters..."
Speaking from a prepared statement Teixeira made the following comment, "Our goal is to work with a filmmaker who can create a classic drama with characters and an environment that capture the feelings that the album inspires in all fans.” Don't expect the film released anytime soon, the duo have yet to schedule a production timetable or find a director who will come armed "with the unique vision to fulfill on screen what Dylan accomplished in the studio.”
