LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Martin Scorsese's
feature-length biopic of Bob Dylan, "No Direction Home: Bob
Dylan," will debut on DVD on Sept. 20, six days before its U.S.
broadcast premiere on PBS and U.K. bow on the BBC.
On PBS, the film will air Sept. 26 and 27 as part of the
"American Masters" series. It also will air Sept. 26 on the
BBC's "Arena" program.
The DVD, from Paramount Home Entertainment, will include
extensive additional footage and bonus materials.
The film focuses on Dylan's life and music from 1961-66 and
includes never-before-seen performance footage and interviews
with artists and musicians whose lives were intertwined in some
way with Dylan during that time.
Scorsese and his crew had access to rare material from the
Bob Dylan Archives' film, tape and stills collection, including
footage from Murray Lerner's film festival documenting
performances at the 1963, '64 and '65 Newport Folk Festivals,
outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker's famed 1967 documentary "Don't
Look Back" and interviews with Allen Ginsberg, Pete Seeger and
Joan Baez, among others.
A double-CD soundtrack will be released Aug. 30 on
Columbia/Legacy Records, and a book, "The Bob Dylan Scrapbook
1956-1966," will be published by Simon & Schuster on Oct. 1.
