Liam Gallagher to make Beatles Movie
Posted by Rodneyon 07. 05. 2010in News Chat
Liam Gallagher owns the rights to Richard DiLello’s memoir and is working to make it into a feature film.
THR reports:
Plans to bring Richard DiLello’s memoir of his years at the London headquarters of The Beatles’ record company Apple to the big screen are gathering pace.
British production label Revolution Films, run by producer Andrew Eaton and filmmaker Michael Winterbottom, is developing the project with the book’s current rights owner, former Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher.
I find it oddly ironic that a member of the band that once claimed it was bigger than the Beatles has faded to obscurity and now is only getting in the news because he owns the rights to a memoir of a guy who used to work with the Beatles.
I would be curious to see how this plays out, telling the Beatles story from the side of someone working with them, instead of being them or watching them.

This guy is a complete tool, he has a bloated opinion of himself and his music. He is constantly criticizing other musicians, while remaining a non factor in the music world. Personally I hope this project falls on it’s face. I love the Beatles, but would rather see someone worthy make the film.
Faded to obscurity? Hardly. Their last album was awesome. That is all attributed to Noel, though. Yes, Liam is a tool and he is the reason Noel left the band.
That you enjoyed their album doesn’t mean they were dominating the music scene, least of all as much as The Beatles did. Not even close.
And most people can’t name a song they did outside of Wonderwall.
But all that is irrelevant. The point is that he owns this guys memoirs and is trying to get it made. At least he doesn’t think he is a director or actor now.
Yes the guy is an idiot, Noel is the brains!
But they’ve hardly faded into obscurity, US doesn’t equate to the rest of the world, you know!?
Sorry mate, love the site
This guy always comes off as a Douche, his bro is the brains behind all the (out-of-date)hype.
Beyond “Whats your story Morning glory” album what have they actually done, besides piss off most it’s audience
Ok so apart from Whats the story morning glory(1995), they have done….
1997: Be Here Now
2000: Standing on the Shoulder of Giants
2002: Heathen Chemistry
2005: Don’t Believe the Truth
2008: Dig Out Your Soul
SO yes I can totally see how they have faded out,
Is anyone on this post actually from the UK or just in the states, cuz if you are all just in the states that makes perfect sense
U.S.A.!
Yeah, Broadcast radio sucks down here.
They topped out at “Wonder wall” down here.(still a great tune BTW)
But we love Coldplay!
