It might be a moot point to ask whether the world has had its fill of
Bob Dylan movies, but whoever answered “hell no” will be happy to know
that a production company in Brazil has bought the film adaptation
rights to Blood on the Tracks. The 1975 album will be made into
an English language flick by RT Features, produced by Rodrigo Teixeira
and Fernando Loureiro (the former of whom, sadly, isn’t the Rodrigo
Teixeira with all the major visual effects chops, but still has a stacked Brazilian resumé). Miley Cyrus and Ke$ha are, no doubt, very excited.
“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,” Teixeira told the Hollywood Reporter.
What do filmmakers have to live up to here? Tracks, Dylan’s
15th studio LP, was certified platinum in the U.S. and continues to be
his best-selling album of all time (what, you thought it was this one?).
