Liam Gallagher taking The Beatles to Cannes


Not busy enough tearing up awards ceremonies and working on his long awaited post-Oasis album, Liam Gallagher is set to dip his toe in the film producing pool.

The musician is expected to announce his first feature project - a biopic focusing on the Beatles' final years - at the upcoming Cannes Film Festival.



Based on Richard DiLello's catchily titled book, The Longest Cocktail Party: An Insider's Diary of the Beatles, Their Million Dollar Apple Empire and Its Wild Rise and Fall , the film will track the band's downward spiral from 1967 to 1970.

Liam's film company, In 1 Productions, will produce in partnership with Revolution Films.

The younger Gallagher has never been shy about his love for the Fab Four, with much of the music he and older brother/sparring partner Noel created influenced by the quartet, though hopefully this won't mean that 'producing' will turn into 'producing and starring'. Nobody needs to see that...

What do you reckon to Liam's film producing credentials? Drop us a comment below.
