Chloe Bailey, Woody Harrelson and Olivia Colman put their talents to use in a new arena: the Bob Dylan songbook. According to Variety, the trio is starring in a film adaptation of "Girl From the North Country," a Broadway musical featuring iconic Dylan songs like "All Along the Watchtower" and "Make You Feel My Love." p>

The screen adaptation will be produced by Blueprint Pictures, the production company behind “The Banshees of Inisherin,” and will be written and directed by Conor McPherson, who also wrote the musical. Dylan himself also gave McPherson and the show his blessing. "Being associated with Conor is one of the highlights of my professional life," he said in a statement, per Variety. "It goes without saying that the man is a genius at putting this thing together and I'm thrilled to be a part of the experience. My songs couldn't be in better hands. The piece brought me to tears at the end. I can't even say why. When the curtain fell, I was stunned. I really was."

This is shaping up to be a big year for the three stars of the film. Bailey is gearing up to release her debut album as a solo artist and is also set to star in Donald Glover's new TV project, "Swarm," which is the successor to "Atlanta." Harrelson's film "Triangle of Sadness" is nominated for three awards at this year's Oscars, including Best Picture. Meanwhile, Colman's film 'Empire of Light' is also nominated for an Oscar, and she's set to appear in Marvel and Disney+'s 'Secret Invasion'
