Though Bob Dylan's previous film efforts 'Renaldo and Clara' and 'Masked and Anonymous' weren't exactly blockbusters, to put it lightly, a new project by the singer-songwriter could be worth the hype.
According to Pajiba (via TwentyFourBit), writer Jay Cocks, who penned the scripts for 'Gangs of New York' and ' The Age Of Innocence,' is working on script based on Dylan's 11-minute epic 'Brownsville Girl.' The song, from 1986's 'Knocked Out Loaded' album, was co-written by actor/playwright Sam Shepard and is a mixture of a romance and a Western.
