Director Luca Guadagnino is set to turn Bob Dylan's album, "Blood on the Tracks", into a movie.
The director said "The Fisher King" writer Richard LaGravenese will adapt the 1975 classic LP for the celluloid.
In an interview with The New Yorker, Guadagnino revealed a producer of his Oscar-nominated film "Call Me By Your Name" had acquired the theatrical rights to "Blood on the Tracks" and had asked him to make it into a movie.
He agreed but on a condition that LaGravenese, whom he had never met, wrote it.
It was perhaps meant to be as the screenwriter cleared his schedule and produced a 188-page screenplay following characters through a multi-year story, set in the seventies, that he and Guadagnino had invented, drawing on the album's central themes.
Guadagnino's latest directorial to release was "Suspiria".
