'Nowhere Boy' (John Lennon Biopic)

[ManofmyWord]

VIDEO-CLick to Watch!:

"John Lennon is an ordinary fifteen year old boy on the streets of Liverpool. Funny, smart, naughty, a real edge to him. But life is not simple for John - he grew up in a family of secrets and was raised by his Aunt Mimi from the age of five. When he is suddenly reacquainted with his mother, Julia, they form an unbreakable bond. A bitter war rages between the two sisters for John's love. Faced with bringing it to an end, he learns the secret heartbreak of his past. But his mother gives him one great gift - music. A wayward boy finds his voice, and walks into The Beatles."


As a Big Lennon fan I was pretty excited when I first heard of this. But the Beatles fan in Me is crushed that it's only a Young John/Paul movie. There's so much more potential in the later years. Walk the Line and Ray did it perfectly. The trailer looks pretty good and Paul is spot on, but the actor playing John...Really? Really? That's the best the could come up with? I can't find a release date for the US but it's already out in the UK and Austraila.
