Much has been said and written about John Lennon’s relationship with his wife, Yoko Ono, including the rumour that their relationship broke the Beatles apart. However, fans will finally have a chance to hear the story from Yoko’s point of view as she is producing a film about her complex relationship with Lennon as well as their love for anti-war activism.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Michael De Luca (The Social Network, Moneyball, Captain Phillips) and Josh Bratman will co-produce the film.
In a statement, De Luca said the plot 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.”
Anthony McCarten will be penning the script for the film. The writer is perhaps the best choice for such a story. He received an Oscar nomination for writing the story of another famous couple, Stephen and Jane Hawking in The Theory of Everything.
Ono and Lennon began dating in the ‘60s when the singer was still married to his first wife, Cynthia Lennon. The couple eventually became vocal anti-war activists. They had one child together, Sean Lennon.
