Right which one of you wrote this movie script?

Didn’t Goodnight Sweetheart do this?

it’s no Across the Universe
I liked it a lot but it is very cheesy. Bono’s only in it for 5 minutes to sing I Am The Walrus while everyone trips on acid
directed by Danny Boyle, from a screenplay by Richard Curtis

Looks amusing. I will watch this, on ITV2 in a couple of weeks time.

It is Tamwar!
Also, @almal100, if you were to ask me which cinematic team I would least like to contemplate a film by, this pairing is high, high up the list.
quite enjoying the casual savagery of this post.

As I’ve gotten older I’ve kind of learnt how not to be furiously hostile to Richard Curtis and his films and… I think I feel much more at ease with the world as a result. I’ll give this a watch why not.
My mum will fucking love this. That’s who it’s for though I guess. Is there a hint of Curtis trying to dispel all those people who questioned the films he made with just posh white people in with the casting here?
Looks fairly dreadful but I’m pleased to see Tamwar doing well.

The major flaw is of course the fact that the music business isn’t a meritocracy based on the quality of music compositions, or anything of the kind. “Jack” would never become famous if he’d written The Beatles songs for (at least two) reasons: 1. lack of singing ability. 2. racial prejudices of mainstream music consumers.
the world does not need this film

Ol Eddy Sheerz is a massive vacuum isn’t he? Dead behind the eyes, not a shred of charisma, just a husk.

Yeah I forgot about that until this thread
The combination of it being a Danny Boyle film and it also being a weird fantasy that I’ve had since I learned to play guitar (not specifically The Beatles, just travelling back in time and “writing” hit songs, Marty McFly style) means that I’m willing, nay, eager to hold my nose through the Corden-Sheeran-Curtis triumvirate of turgidity to watch this

I’ve got an idea for a film where Britain finally gets over the beatles, the sixties and takes its rose-tinted nostalgia down about 4 gazllion notches.
