John And Yoko Biopic In The Works

(Gibson) A biopic about John Lennon and Yoko Ono is currently in the works, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The currently-untitled project will focus on Lennon and Ono's relationship and antiwar activism.

It's unlikely to be a detached view, though. Ono herself is producing the movie. She is working with Michael De Luca (The Social Network), Josh Bratman, and Anthony McCarten, who will also write the movie script. McCarten was Oscar-nominated for his work on The Theory of Everything, about the theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking.

De Luca elaborated, "The story will focus on ripe and relevant themes of love, courage and activism in the U.S.-with the intention of inspiring today's youth to stand up for and have a clear vision for the world they want." Read more here.
