Dylan Docu Draws Distrib Deal
The Martin Scorsese helmed No Direction Home will be rolled out in 30 cities before being released on DVD.

The Toronto Film Festival just got started, and it already has its first big star. Bob Dylan. Daily Variety reports Martin Scorsese's documentary about the music legend, called No Direction Home, has earned itself a theatrical release, even before its debut at the festival, which scheduled for September 17.

Emerging Pictures will distribute the just-short-of-four hour-long film to 30 cities nationwide in a brief window before Paramount Home Video puts the documentary out on DVD. They're not looking to ticket sales to raise money, as the digital screenings will be open for free admission on a first-come, first served basis.

No Direction Home, the title comes from the lyrics of "Like a Rolling Stone," covers Dylan's life and music from 1961 through 1966 and features footage from Dylan's own private archives, as well as concert footage from the 1963, '64 and '65 Newport Folk Festivals and outtakes from D.A. Pennebaker's documentary Don't Look Back. Interviews with Alan Ginsburg, Pete Seeger and Joan Baez are also part of the film.

The Dylan documentary is also headed to public television. WNET will air the documentary over two nights in late September.

i saw it at the festival, i like the way the story was played out while cutting back to a famous yet controversial part of his career.

I missed the smiling part, I think.

Did anyone catch the interview with Scorsese after the PBS showing.  Kinda interesting.

well i was kinda asleep but it seemed like charlie rose just did most of the talking and scorsese said yes.  scorsese didn't even seem to be that into bob dylan.  he just seemed to be doing this project.  the only part that i remember well is how scorsese was saying how underrated the use of pop music in movies is.  i agree.

we must have seen two different interviews -

scorsese was a motor mouth as usual. his admiration for dylan was pretty candid as well.

like i said i was kinda asleep, but it seems like charlie rose would ask a question and then he would answer it himself.

I am a total Dylan geek, I go ga-ga at his mention. Anyway this was amazing, the part about him stealing the records was hilarious.

i'm really surprised how talkative he is in the doc. he's just a normal dude who've been overrated by critics and fans for years. he even smiled and laughed at one time. the reason i wanted to see was how he tackled nosy journalists and crazy fans. the judas part was perfect and really showed bob as a musician, not jesus christ or something else. i'd like to see him talk about the years when he didn't tour (between 66 to 73 or something). this doc definitely needs to sequels. unless bob keels over.

As a huge Dylan fan, this movie was a joy for me to watch. I'll go out on a limb and say that only a master filmmaker like Scorsese could handle this much material and balance it out nicely. Particularly into three hours (which really isn't that long for a movie about a lifetime).

But the movies doesn't span his lifetime, does it? From what I saw, it stopped at 1966. Scorsese has a quadrilogy to finish!!!

Bob Dylan: No Direction Home 2: 1966-1978 Bob & Sara
Bob Dylan: No Direction Home 3: 1978-1989 Bob & God
Bob Dylan: No Direction Home 4: 1989-present Bob & Bob

Oh yeah baby...

For my money this is one of the best movies of the year, if not the finest film Scorsese has ever made. Definaltey an incredibly valuable document and a wonderful compainion piece to Don't Look Back.
