A profile of John Lennon in the late 1960s as the Beatles are set to fall apart.
История жизни Джона Леннона на фоне распадающихся Битлз с 1967, смерти Брайана до 1971 года.


Finally the BBC have released a little more info on their upcoming drama Lennon Naked. Christopher Eccleston plays John Lennon in a single film charting his transition from Beatle John to enduring and enigmatic icon. Spanning a period of wildly fluctuating fortunes for Lennon between 1967 and 1971, writer Robert Jones articulates the burden of genius, as well as issues of fatherhood and fame. The unexpected death of Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein in 1967 marked a turning point in Lennon’s life. This film focuses on the turbulent and intense period of change that followed, and how John was haunted by his troubled childhood.

Made in high definition, Lennon Naked also reveals the impact of re-establishing contact with his long lost father, and the events that led John to shed everything both personally and creatively, including calling time on The Beatles. Meeting Yoko Ono was the catalyst for this new era and the film explores the development of their extraordinary relationship, their growing disillusionment with Britain and what caused Lennon to abandon the UK to start a new life in America, a process which ultimately inspired him to record arguably the most powerful solo work of his career.

Written by Robert Jones and directed by Edmund Coulthard, the cast includes Christopher Fairbank, Naoko Mori, Claudie Blakley, Rory Kinnear, Allan Corduner, Michael Colgan and Andrew Scott.

There’s a trailer as well and we are hoping to get a version to post here sometime soon, so stay tuned!

The former Doctor Who star Christopher Eccleston is to play John Lennon in a new BBC4 drama.

Called Lennon Naked, the one-off 90-minute film covers Lennon's life from 1967 to 1971.

It features the effect on Lennon of the death of the Beatles' manager, Brian Epstein, and the impact of re-establishing contact with his long lost father Freddie.

Lennon Naked also covers the break-up of his marriage to Cynthia Lennon and meeting Yoko Ono.

Ono is played by Naoko Mori, of Torchwood and Absolutely Fabulous, and Epstein by Rory Kinnear.

Other cast members includethe Cranford actor Claudie Blakley as Cynthia Lennon and Andrew Scott as Paul McCartney.

The BBC's controller of drama commissioning, Ben Stephenson, said: "Securing Christopher Eccleston to play John Lennon is further testament to the calibre of drama on BBC4. The 'Women We Loved' season currently on air is attracting record audiences and the channel is steadily building a reputation for portraying some of this country's best-loved icons."

Richard Klein, controller of BBC4, said : "BBC4 is the place where dramas look to explore that space between artists' public works and private lives, shedding light on the artistic process while offering intelligent entertainment."

Lennon Naked was written by Robert Jones, the co-creator of Party Aninals. It is currently being filmed in London by the independent producer Blast! Films and will air next year.

The director and co-producer is Edmund Coulthard, whose credits include Soundproof; Katherine Lannon, who worked on BBC4's The Secret Life of Mrs Beeton, is co-producer.

Naoko Mori в роли Йоко Оно

Finally, the most recently announced is the new BBC film Lennon Naked, which will revolve around the years 1967-1971 when the Beatles were at the climax of their fame and success, but the cohesion of the band was beginning to erode. The film will also focus on John Lennon’s disintegrating marriage to wife Cynthia and his budding relationship with Yoko Ono, as well as his coping with the death of Epstein.

The cast will feature Christopher Eccleston, of popular sci-fi TV series Doctor Who and recent biopic Amelia, as Lennon. Naoko Moria (TV’s Absolutely Fabulous) will play Yoko Ono, Claudie Blakley (Gosford Park, Pride & Prejudice) will play Cynthia Lennon, British actor Rory Kinnear will play Epstein, and Irish actor Andrew Scott will play Paul McCartney. The film was written by Robert Jones, who penned the BBC political drama Party Animals.

Lennon Naked is being produced by BBC Four films and is intended to air only on TV, although this medium should not mislead viewers about the quality of the film, BBC spokespeople say. Richard Klein, controller of BBC Four, asserts, “BBC4 is the place where dramas… [shed] light on the artistic process while offering intelligent entertainment.” The film is set to air on next year, and is being filmed in London by Blast! studios, which won a BAFTA for its 2008 film Hunger.

>Ёка сильно красивая у них получилась.
Точно, точно!Согласен!А вот Джон вроде - похож!Очки еще одеть - и вообще здорово.

Уже очень весело! ))

Понятно, что переведут название фильма как-то иначе: Настоящий Джон или.. не знаю, в общем! :) Но посмотрю фильм обязательно.
млиин, надо же такое придумать! ))

Чё то Джон внешне не похож, может после просмотра фильма буду думать иначе... Но сйчас вижу, что не он. Хотя, голос один в один!

Актера на роль Джона выбирали, судя по всему, по носу)
Актриса на роль Йоки больше бы подошла на роль Мэй Пэнг) (Если бы не японский разрез глаз)
А Синтия такая симпатичная девушка, чисто британской внешности)
