Nowhere Boy Film Release
On 30th November Abbey Road's Studio Two hosted a press screening for the critically acclaimed hot new film biopic Nowhere Boy about John Lennon's teenage years which led to his musical career from the Quarrymen to his early relationship with Paul McCartney and George Harrison when the Beatles first set off to Hamburg.
The film score for Nowhere Boy was written and produced by Will Gregory and Alison Goldfrapp of the band Goldfrapp, recorded in Studio Two and mixed in the Penthouse by Abbey Road engineer Andrew Dudman with John Barrett assisting.
Featuring the directorial debut of Sam Taylor-Wood and screenplay by Matt Greenhalgh (who wrote the script for the 2007 Joy Division film Control), the film recently closed the prestigious London Film Festival to rapturous applause and rave reviews.
The film features a wealth of British talent, including a career-defining performance from Aaron Johnson as the young John Lennon, plus outstanding performances from Kristin Scott Thomas as Aunt Mimi and Anne Marie Duff as Lennon's mother. The film has received Yoko Ono's blessing.
Sony Music release a 2 CD soundtrack album of rock'n'roll music from and inspired by the motion picture on 14 December, two weeks before the film is released in the UK on Boxing Day (26th December).
