John Lennon Biopic – Nowhere Boy

October 28, 2009

Wow. This looks awful. Each time I watch the trailer, it winds me up more and more. Kristin Scott Thomas? Oh, please! And what exactly has Sam Taylor Wood successfully directed in the past? With a screenplay written by a man whose credits includes episodes of Hollyoaks based on a story by Lennon’s half-sister, you can guarantee this is going to be an irksome watch.

Obviously, I’ll see it -- but judging from this, it would appear to be a shiny, heartless interpretation of John’s early life.
