John Lennon Biopic in Development

You can see at least one of the Fab Four on the silver screen in the near future. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Nowhere Boy, a biopic of The Beatles lead singer John Lennon is being developed by Ecosse Films.

Visual artist Sam Taylor-Wood is set to direct from Matt Greenhalgh's script. Greenhalgh recently wrote another musical biopic, Control, about the influential band Joy Division. The film is said to go all the way from his troubled early years living with his aunt, who was constantly battling with his mother, who gave him up. It will also explore his early friendship with Paul McCartney.

No production schedule was released, but it was said that the casting process has begun.
