Dylan: 'The sequel'

Bob Dylan is holding talks with the makers of his acclaimed "No Direction Home" documentary about making a sequel, it has been confirmed.

The two-part film, broadcast in the UK and America this week, was directed by Martin Scorsese and followed Dylan's career up until 1966.

Featuring a wealth of material on the rock'n'roll legend never before seen, including the infamous "Judas" moment at a gig in Manchester, the makers are now planning on completing the story.

Susan Lacy, executive producer of Scorsese's two-part film, has revealed that "preliminary discussions" are already taking place.

Speaking during a webchat with Dylan fans, Lacy said: "We are having preliminary discussions about that. We are researching that right now.

"There's not as much material and it's not as dense as the material we had from the sixties. There are big gaps in it."

According to Lacy, TV ratings for the programme were "fabulous" in both the UK and America.

"No Direction Home: Bob Dylan" will be released on DVD on October 03.
