Luca Guadagnino, the director of Call Me By Your Name and the forthcoming Suspiria remake — yes, the one with Thom Yorke music — is plotting a drama based on Bob Dylan's 1975 classic Blood on the Tracks.

According to a New Yorker profile of the filmmaker, he's enlisted screenwriter Richard LaGravenese to pen "a hundred-and-eighty-eight-page screenplay following characters through a multiyear story, set in the seventies, that he and Guadagnino had invented, drawing on the album's central themes."

Meanwhile, a volume of Dylan's Bootleg series dedicated to the album is coming out on Nov. 2.

Amy Winehouse biopic, hologram tour coming

Amy Winehouse fans can get excited — or nervous — for a forthcoming biopic and hologram tour.

Winehouse's family has approved a biopic to begin filming next year, with Kinky Boots writer Geoff Deane penning the script. "We now feel able to celebrate Amy's extraordinary life and talent," said the singer's father Mitch Winehouse. Proceeds from the film will benefit the Amy Winehouse Foundation, reports the Guardian.

Meanwhile, Winehouse is also hitting the road in virtual form for a hologram tour launching late next year. "Featuring digitally remastered arrangements of her classics," reads a statement announcing the tour, "the hologram will be backed by a live band, singers and theatrical stagecraft." Mitch Winehouse called the hologram tour "a dream." (CNN)

And Winehouse, already the subject of the well-received documentary Amy, will be the subject of another forthcoming documentary: Back to Black, detailing the making of her classic album, comes out Nov. 2.

Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson call it quits

The music world's highest-profile whirlwind romance of the year is over: Ariana Grande and Pete Davidson have ended their engagement, reports CNN.

They started dating this spring, announced their engagement in June, and spent the summer feverishly declaring their love. Multiple tattoos paid tribute to their undying affection; they moved in together and adopted a pet pig named Piggy Smalls; and Grande even named a sweet love song on her new album Sweetener after Davidson.

On this season's Saturday Night Live premiere, Davidson eerily joked about their relationship. "You know, I don't even get royalties for that 'Pete Davidson' song? Like, if we break up, and we won't &38212; we will — but we won't. I'm kidding. But in 10 years if, God forbid, that ever happened, there will be a song called 'Pete Davidson' playing in speakers at K-Mart and I'll be working there."

The two now join infamous short-lived music celebrity couples including Madonna and Vanilla Ice (dated in 1991), Lyle Lovett and Julia Roberts (married 1993-95), Jack and Meg White (married 1996-2000), Jennifer Lopez and Puff Daddy (dated 1999-2001), Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake (dated 1999-2002), and Avril Lavigne and Nickelback's Chad Kroeger (married 2013-15).
