Gallagher wants Depp for Beatles film
By CMU Editorial | Published on Thursday 26 May 2011
Liam Gallagher has said that he would like Johnny Depp to appear in the previously reported Beatles biopic being produced by his In 1 Productions film company.
Documenting the last two years of The Beatles’ career before they split in 1970, the movie, a co-production with Revolution Films, is to be based on Richard DiLello’s book, ‘The Longest Cocktail Party’. Gallagher says he has Depp in mind to play the part of Derek Taylor, the band’s first publicist, for whom DiLello worked as an assistant.
Gallagher told Q: “Derek Taylor… He’s up there with Lennon. The film script is done. 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 it, man”.
