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获得了乐坛传奇人物鲍勃·迪伦发行于1975年的专辑Blood on the Tracks的电影改编权。据悉，该公司准备把这张专辑改编成一部英文对白的电影。目前，RT Features正在为这部电影寻找合适的导演、编剧和演员。

鲍勃·迪伦的专辑Blood on the Tracks是迪伦的代表专辑之一，虽然其主题略有些阴暗，但整张专辑还有有一些颇为欢快与抒情的歌曲，譬如Shelter from the Storm和Lily, Rosemary, and the Jack of Hearts等等。对于这张专辑，有评论家认为其灵感出自与迪伦和他的第三任太太的分手，因为他们的孩子雅克布·迪伦曾经说过：“这些歌曲就是爸爸妈妈的谈话”。但是迪伦却在自己的传记里说这张专辑的灵感，来自于安东·契诃夫的短篇小说。Blood on the Tracks出版于1975年，在英美两地获得了双白金销量。其中的Tangled Up in Blue,Simple Twist of Fate等歌曲早已成为了经典。

作为歌坛的符号和深刻影响了流行文化的代表，鲍勃·迪伦到目前为止，还没有一部严格意义上的传记片。前几年的那一部《我不在那儿》并不能算是一部严格的传记电影。目前，关于RT Features将如何改编Blood on the Tracks尚不知晓，影片的制片人罗德里格·特谢拉（Rodrigo Teixeira）表示说，一定会寻找到合适的导演和演员来“创作一部经典的能恰如其分表达出专辑意味和意义的电影。”
