Jude Law to portray Brian Epstein?

[Matt Wittman]

I heard from a friend that a movie about Brian Epstein will be filming soon, with Jude Law in the lead. So, I did a quick internet search and some articles spanning the last few years came up. I don't think it ever started production, but I'm not sure.

LOL

I was about to post about this very thing after reading a recent article and thought I would do a search first. So here we are years later asking the very same question, too funny. I too did a internet search and came up with very little information. Anybody have a clue about this supposed movie?

I'm still waiting for the Keith Moon movie with Mike Myers.

Is that the one with Roger supposedly having script approval? Hasn't that been at least 20 years in pre-production?

IMDB shows the Keith Moon Biopic as being "in production" with 2010 release date....

Nothing on IMDB that I saw regarding an Epstein movie (that I saw anyway)

If somebody wanted to do a movie about someone in the Beatles orbit, I think a much more interesting subject would be Pete Best.

Obviously, you didn't know Brian Epstein!!!

Obviously? I just think the mass movie-going audience would connect more in a dramatic way with someone who missed out on the biggest time of all; his early days with the group, the events that led to his dismissal, the subsequent emotional turmoil his dismissal must have caused him, his attempted suicide, a side story of then 19-year old road manager Neil Aspinall becoming romantically involved with Pete's mother Mona Best who gave birth to Aspinall's child & how Pete might have dealt with that scenario, his struggle to remain in the music business and finally ending with a small measure of redemption with his payday from the Anthology release. Throw in the story of his 40-year marriage (i.e. love story) and man, you got yourself a movie!

You make a good pitch, seriously. Maybe more realistically as a TV drama documentary, similar to what was done with Stuart Sutcliffe. Would be interesting (if the Apples didn't stamp on it).
