The Coen brothers to go ahead with a Film about the 1960s New York Folk scene

Douglas r. Gilbert

Dave Van Ronk was a central figure in the explosion of folk early 1960s in the Village of Greenwich in New York, and his rise to fame is precisely the kind of things, the Coen brothers want to write on the subject.

Rolling Stone reported that Joel and Ethan Coen latest project, ' the Interior of Llewyn Davis', will be based on the life of Van Ronk. Hey, perhaps a young Bobby Dylan does an appearance? The drama will follow Llewyn throughout the 1960s as a musician who have difficulties in New York City at the height of the protest movement.

Scott Rudin ('True Grit' and 'non-Country for Old Men') was signed to produce the project. No release date has been set.

As stated in Martin Scorsese'sexcellent documentary Dylan 'No Direction Home', Van Ronk never reached the notoriety and the stature of his folk friends Joan Baez and Dylan, but he made a significant mark on the career of the latter. We are convinced that the film will have a fabulous idea on the strange coffee beatniks world - and, hopefully, a little humor as well.
