Scorsese is about to release a new documentary titled “’Rolling Thunder Revue: A Bob Dylan Story by Martin Scorsese,” set for release on Netflix this coming June. This makes Netflix the home for two upcoming Martin Scorsese-directed movies in 2019 (“The Irishman” being the other). Now, thanks to a report from Variety, we have some more info and a poster. The synopsis also does not make the film out to be a token documentary. It sounds like a hybrid of some kind. What exactly? We are not sure. But the official synopsis for the film describes it as “part documentary, part concert film, part fever dream.” SOLD. The Rolling Thunder Revue is a legendary tour from Bob Dylan which was aimed to coincide with his 1975 masterwork “Blood on the Tracks.” It also featured an eccentric array of of writers, poets, musicians, who would join Dylan on-stage (Joan Baez, Bob Neuwirth, Roger McGuinn, T Bone Burnett, Ramblin’ Jack Elliott, Allen Ginsberg, Sam Shepard, Joni Mitchell, Ringo Starr, Patti Smith, Bette Midler, Dennis Hopper.) Back in 2005, Scorsese directed the ultimate Dylan doc, “No Direction Home.” Contribute Hire me
