Some of you might recognize him as Doctor Who or his appearance in Heroes, some of you might remember him this year as Destro in G.I. Joe: Rise Of Cobra, some of us try to forget that he was ever in the dull biopic Amelia. But now you’re going to see him as the man we need to thank for Brit Rock n’ Roll, the late great John Lennon. His life was so significant, tragic and memorable, it wasn’t enough just to depict his teenage and adolescent years in the upcoming Nowhere Boy (Check out the trailer). There’s another movie in the works that will tell the his story during the glorious years of The Beatles…
According to Variety, BBC 4 is developing NAKED LENNON which chronicles Lennon from 1967 to 1971 including the end of his marriage to Cynthia and the start of Yoko Ono, coping with the death of manager Brian Epstein.
