John Lennon and Yoko Ono Biopic Announced

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. Ono is producing the film along with Michael De Luca (The Social Network), Josh Bratman, and Anthony McCarten, who will also write the movie. 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.”

Last year, Ono reissued three albums, including two with Lennon (Unfinished Music Nos. 1 & 2). She is expected to reissue several more this year, as part of the Yoko Ono Reissue Project.
