I've always wanted to be a rock star, but unfortunately musical talent, stage presence and overall confidence continue to elude me. To be a rock star you have to assume a god-like presence, inspire millions and probably perhaps carry a tune or two. It's the stuff tailor-made for the big screen, as demonstrated by the success and subsequent cult statuses of the Ray, Johnny and Jim biopics that have graced our cinemas over the years. It's curious then, that the most celebrated and legendary of all rock stars, that guy who wrote that song about a Yellow Submarine, has not yet received the proper Hollywood treatment.
Thankfully, U.K. production house Ecosse Films has enlisted visual artist Sam Taylor-Wood to direct, and CONTROL screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh to write a film called NOWHERE BOY, about the early childhood and subsequent journey to icon status of one John Lennon. That's right. The life and times of our favorite Beatle (sorry Ringo) is finally coming to a theatre near you. The daunting task of casting the most mythical man in music history is currently underway.
Extra Tidbit:
This story obviously begs the question: Who should play John Lennon?

PAUL DANO AS JOHN LENNON
I believe Paul Dano could do the part justice. He's A good actor. Look at his performances in There Will Be Blood and Little Miss Sunshine.
I think the casting director should at least consider him. |

Never liked The Beatles, and for the record Chapter 27 was a let down. |

Gotta agree with rubox, i've always wanted to see a biopic of my favorite band of all-time. I'd go for 2 movies though, part 1: early years to the height of fame; part 2: later years and break-up of the band.
I actually think James McAvoy could pull off the role quite well, at least for the younger years. |

RYAN GOSLING AS LENNON
I just hope that this turns out to be a big film. I can't stand all the little independent/low budget/small release Beatle films. They are the biggest band of all-time and deserve a full blown, kick ass bio-pic. Please get it right this time. Do we have to get Michael Bay on the case? LOL! |

BEATLES: THE TRILOGY
Now what I would love to see (per one of the come on hollywood headlines) is a Beatles biopic. Do it as a trilogy...movie one-the early moptop years...movie 2 - psychadelic years...movie 3 - the later years of the break-up and reunion of the 3 around the mid 90's. Think this would be a great movie being that they are one of the most influential rock bands ever. |
