Esau. Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 https://variety.com/2019/music/news/bob-dylan-martin-scorsese-rolling-thunder-film-netflix-1203104499/ Quote For years, rumors have circulated among Bob Dylan fans that a documentary about his legendary, star-studded “Rolling Thunder Revue” tour of 1975-76 was in the works, and occasional whispers had a name attached: Martin Scorsese. Now, the cat can come officially out of the bag. Variety has exclusively learned that Netflix plans to release the movie in 2019, with the director’s name actually in the title: “Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese.” The tightly-under-wraps project is said not to be quite as much of a straightforward documentary as Scorsese’s previous Dylan film, 2005’s “No Direction Home: Bob Dylan,” which zeroed in on Dylan’s crucial 1965-66 “going electric” period. “There’s a reason the word ‘story’ appears in the title,” said a source, hinting that the director may be playing with the form more in this particular film. Quote No release date has been set. When Variety asked about a rumor that the film might appear as early as this spring, a source countered that, saying that even the announcement of a premiere date remains “months away.” One of the few details Netflix did confirm about the movie is that Dylan himself was interviewed for it, which doesn’t necessarily go without saying, since the artist rarely allows himself to be interviewed off-camera, let alone on.

Esau. Posted January 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2019 Hoping so. I mean it's Scorsese, so my expectations are a bit higher I suppose. I suspect we'll be seeing some updated/upgraded footage from 'Renaldo & Clara' considering the year(s)/tour. Just hope it's not a clip fest or partial remake of it. Regardless, looking forward to see what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Booche Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 Scorsese is attached to Long Strange Trip, which is utterly fantastic, so this could be really special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edger Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 And The Last Waltz.... This will surely be fantastic. Sure wish I could get a copy of it today and hunker down in this snow storm with a blanket and a bowl of chips... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
