, ”he said in an interview for the
Collider
site
.

I don't think the project is dead, but it's something complicated to do in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, because it's happening in tiny clubs, with a lot of extras in period costumes
,” said he added.
Announced at the beginning of the year, the feature film was to return, according to
IndieWire
, to a pivotal period in the bard's career, when he abandoned his traditional acoustic guitar to move towards a more electric sound, endorsed by the success of the single
