LONDON – Brazil-based international production banner RT Features has strummed up the rights to adapt Bob Dylan’s seminal 1975 album Blood on the Tracks into an English language movie.

RT Features’ Rodrigo Teixeira and Fernando Loureiro will produce the film.

The producing duo are putting the project out to directors aiming to find one “with the unique vision to fulfill on screen what Dylan accomplished in the studio with such well-known songs Tangled Up in Blue, Simple Twist of Fate, and Shelter from the Storm.

"As long time admirers of one of the greatest albums in the history of music, we feel privileged to be making this film,” said Teixeira. “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."

Dylan’s 15th studio album Blood on the Tracks was released by Columbia Records in January 1975.

Certified double Platinum in the U.S. and Gold in the U.K., the album topped the Billboard 200 chart for two weeks following its release and Rolling Stone listed the album in the Top 20 of all-time.

As part of a push into developing and producing English language films, RT Features is also setting up Strip, mounting it with Thunder Road Pictures, and The Games of 1940, a co-production with Kennedy/Marshall which will be written by David Seidler and Luca Manzi.

RT Features has produced Portuguese-language movies including Romeo and Juliet Get Married for Vanguard Cinema as well as 2007’s Drained which was selected for official competition at the Sundance Film Festival.

And in 2011 Heleno andThe Silver Cliff both secured slots during at the Toronto International Film Festival while O Abismo Prateado found its way onto the Cannes Directors’ Fortnight roster.

日前，巴西的制片公司RT Features獲得了樂壇傳奇人物鮑勃·迪倫發(fā)行于1975年的專輯Blood on the Tracks的電影改編權(quán)。據(jù)悉，該公司準(zhǔn)備把這張專輯改編成一部英文對白的電影。目前，RT Features正在為這部電影尋找合適的導(dǎo)演、編劇和演員。

鮑勃·迪倫的專輯Blood on the Tracks是迪倫的代表專輯之一，雖然其主題略有些陰暗，但整張專輯還有有一些頗為歡快與抒情的歌曲，譬如Shelter from the Storm和Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts等等。對于這張專輯，有評論家認(rèn)為其靈感出自與迪倫和他的第三任太太的分手，因為他們的孩子雅克布·迪倫曾經(jīng)說過：“這些歌曲就是爸爸媽媽的談話”。但是迪倫卻在自己的傳記里說這張專輯的靈感，來自于安東·契訶夫的短篇小說。Blood on the Tracks出版于1975年，在英美兩地獲得了雙白金銷量。其中的Tangled Up in Blue,Simple Twist of Fate等歌曲早已成為了經(jīng)典。

作為歌壇的符號和深刻影響了流行文化的代表，鮑勃·迪倫到目前為止，還沒有一部嚴(yán)格意義上的傳記片。前幾年的那一部《我不在那兒》并不能算是一部嚴(yán)格的傳記電影。目前，關(guān)于RT Features將如何改編Blood on the Tracks尚不知曉，影片的制片人羅德里格·特謝拉（Rodrigo Teixeira）表示說，一定會尋找到合適的導(dǎo)演和演員來“創(chuàng)作一部經(jīng)典的能恰如其分表達(dá)出專輯意味和意義的電影?！?
