. (Gibson) Former Oasis frontman and current Beady Eye singer Liam Gallagher is working on a film about The Beatles and he wants Johnny Depp to be part of it, according to AFP. Gallagher is producing the movie, which deals with the band's Apple Corps and is based on Richard DiLello's book, The Longest Cocktail Party.

"The film script is done," the singer told Q magazine. "It's gonna blow people's minds, man. I'm just waiting to find out when we choose the actors. "I want Johnny Depp to play Derek Taylor. It's got Johnny Depp written all over i, man."
