Beatles movie
To be made by Scorsese
Director Martin Scorsese has signed to make a movie about late Beatle George Harrison, Ahlan hears today.
The film, which will be shot later this year and released in cinemas next year, will be produced by Harrison's widow Olivia and is to feature the guitarist's former bandmates Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, according to Variety.
It will take a documentary format and explore Harrison's faith and music, as well as his movie projects.
Scorsese - who has made documentaries about Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones - says of the project, "(Harrison's) music and his search for spiritual meaning is a story that still resonates today. I'm looking forward to delving deeper."
Olivia Harrison says, "It would have given George great joy to know that Martin Scorsese has agreed to tell his story."
George Harrison died in 2001 at the age of 58, after losing a battle with lung cancer. We can't wait for the movie, and we're thinking there's probably no one better to handle the story. Wonder if he'll fit Jude Law in there somewhere with a montage over the track Hey Jude? Too far-fetched? Too hopeful? Well, we're allowed to dream...
