London
(ANI):
The
biopic
of
late
John
Lennon
will
provide
a
deeply
personal
account
of
the
former
Beatle's
relationship
with
his
mother
and
with
his
Aunt
Mimi,
who
brought
him
up.
The
film
titled
Nowhere
Boy
is
based
on
the
memoirs
of
Lennon's
half-sister,
Julia
Baird.
Matt
Greenhalgh
of
Joy
Division
biopic
Control
fame
said
that
the
book
"illuminated
so
much
about
this
legendary
genius.
I
could
see
the
drama
and
film
immediately
the
women
in
his
life,
the
men
who
weren't,
the
birth
of
rock
and
roll,
all
imposing
on
a
brilliantly
complicated
adolescent
mind."
"Without
this
story,
we
would
never
have
heard
the
Beatles
can
you
imagine
that?" Telegraph
quoted
him,
as
saying.
The
film
has
landed
a
lottery-funded
development
grant
by
the
UK
Film
Council,
where
Greenhalgh
will
get
35,500
pounds.
