Scorsese's George Harrison Doc To Premiere In October
Film documents former Beatle\'s life
Billboard reports that in the film, Scorsese traces Harrison's life from his beginnings in Liverpool through his life as a musician, philanthropist and filmmaker. Home movies and photographs that have never been seen or heard before are complemented by interviews with Eric Clapton, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, George Martin, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Tom Petty, Phil Spector, Ringo Starr and Jackie Stewart.
In late September, Abrams Books will publish Olivia Harrison's "George Harrison: Living in the Material World," a personal archive of photographs, letters, diaries and memorabilia from her late husband's life. The book release is intended to coincide with the release of Scorsese's film.
Scorsese produced the film with Harrison's widow Olivia and Nigel Sinclair, the CEO of Exclusive Media Group, which includes the documentary production outfit Spitfire Pictures. Exclusive Films International, the international sales and marketing arm of Exclusive, represents worldwide rights, excluding the U.S. Scott Pascucci serves as executive producer for Grove Street and is coordinating all aspects of the film's distribution for Grove Street.
