This will be awesome!

Looks like a load of bollocks! And Paul did NOT help form the Quarrymen, he JOINED the band, which already existed when he and John met for the first time.

Looks like a load of bollocks to me. And Paul did NOT help form the Quarrymen, the band already existed when he JOINED them at John’s invitation.

My goosebumps have goosebumps…

this is good that its early day stuff about john

Great, another romanticism of John being the “man behind the Beatles” Paul pushed the Beatles. John hated the road. I can’t wait to see what other BS they put in this film.

The filmmakers clearly made no effort whatsoever in finding actors that resemble John or Paul.

what’s the song at the end of the trailer? it’s really good.

I’m not a Beatles fan, but I’m interested in this film. I’ll consider watching so long as it is not a romanticized or fictional account of his life. You’re making a biopic, it should be as close to reality as it can be. Don’t sugarcoat or over-embellish things. It’s lying to the audience. If you want “spruce” certain things up, just write a fictional script with fictional characters, and you can base it off of real-life people and their real-life situations. But don’t present those real people as something that they’re not. Fred Astaire was right in putting it in his will that no movie be made about him. I’m pretty sure that he predicted such a movie would, as usual, come nowhere near the truth.

what insight can a dramatization of someones life add? Lennon’s life is so well documented that no matter well made this movie is will reap of untruths

I agree — these actors do NOT resemble Lennon and McCartney whatsoever. Can’t be believable if your casting misses the mark. Might as well get Danny DeVito as Lennon.

Sounds interesting. Some of it was filmed by where i live.

LENNON IS GOD.

John Lennon did not look like a male model!! horrible casting

I WISH PEOPLE WOULD RESERVE JUDGEMENT UNTIL THEY HAVE ACTUALLY SEEN THE FILM !! HAVING READ THE FIRST SCRIPT IT WAS CLEAR THAT THE FILM WAS GOING TO BE GREAT.SO WHAT IF AARON AND THOMAS DONT LOOK SO MUCH LIKE LENNON &MAC LET THE FILM SPEAK FOR ITSELF.

I understand this is about John’s teenage years but did they have to get kids who look like they’re 12 years old? Not to mention the dude they got to play John looks NOTHING like him. Lame.

john and paul as kids didn’t look like they did in the 60’s or 70’s. so what the big deal? hair styles for john were close.

looks good, maybe not accurate but that’s hollywood.

and the actor playing john does resemble him a bit, but the actor for paul doesn’t look ANYTHING like him. well whatever, i’ll see it and judge for myself.

I have a feeling I will go to this opening night and have sit alone because no one is going to want to sit next to me and hear say over and over again the flaws. Sucks being a beatlehead!! This looks better then I thought it would though.

I’m not so sure it was a “car crash”. Wasn’t Julia Lennon struck as a pedestrian?

She was struck and killed by a drunk off duty policeman

This looks a little crap. Why couldn’t they have gotten actors who actually look like John Lennon and Paul McCartney?

Not again. How many times will second rate, lazy movies about Lennon be produced? Yoko will do ANYTHING for a buck. It’s shameful to Lennon’s character and genius.

Am I in it?

I read an interview with McCartney who said he’d seen some of it and said to the director “it was nothing like that, you’ve got it ALL wrong” ,although johns sister wrote it she was about 10 when all this happened with john and paul so how could she really know?

If it’s Shotton with an O you are

In addition to this new biopic, there’s a new John Lennon book coming out in a couple weeks.

It’s called “The Cynical Idealist: A Spiritual Biography of John Lennon,” by Gary Tillery and traces Lennon’s spiritual development through interviews, writings, and recordings.

There’s an excerpt up at Amazon.

Almost,everyone here is right the actors don’t resemble one other which is a major flaw. It does matter if the actors look like : John, Julia, Mimi, Paul, etc. Although, I believe no one actually looks like them (except for Paul’s son and George’s son). Also, Sir James Paul McCartney and John Winston Lennon both did not form The Quarrymen it was John Lennon with some school friends who first named the band The Blackjacks but after finding out another band had the same name they switched it to The Quarrymen after their school Quarry Bank High School (as a joke because they tended not to do much school work). Later on Saturday 6 July 1957, The Quarrymen played at St. Peter’s Church Rose Queen garden fête in Woolton where John and Paul were introduced by Ivan Vaughan. Paul impressed him by tuning his guitar very well and by singing and knowing the lyrics of “Twenty Flight Rock” and “Be-Bop-A-Lula.” Paul later introduced John to George Harold Harrison a good friend of his who was currently attending the same school, Liverpool Institute (where many soon to be successful men went), although John thought George was far too young eventually let him join the band. I also believe yoko just wants money she doesn’t care how she gets it, I actually believe they should ask Cynthia Lennon if the movie is relevant to John’s childhood because she started dating him when he was about seventeen not yoko. Cynthia didn’t care for money as most people think she cared/still cares for John very
deeply and she did not get pregnant so he could marry her that is a straight out lie read John the book by Cynthia Lennon it’ll teach you something. I personally think the only person who ever loved/still love John Lennon was/is Cynthia Lennon and he always loved her. Lastly, I think the movie will not be as good as any movie about The Beatles or a Beatle should be but at least someone is still writing/creating something about them, I just hope this movie doesn’t make anyone dislike them and I hope people will make better Beatles movies than this.
R.I.P. John Winston Lennon
R.I.P. George Harold Harrison

I just hope this movie turns out at least a little good and it doesn’t make anyone dislike them, and I hope they can be other movies/books that will show the true Beatles.
