Has anyone else heard about this? He bought Epsteins journals and wants to do a movie about his life.

Yeah, he's a good actor. Among other things.

I dont know,,,if he starts making out with other guys in the movie, i'll probably pass.

I don't see why people see Brian Epstein to be a real interesting character and all....but it could make for an entertaining film I guess.

I would see it if it came out, Jude's a good actor. Dono if he reminds me anything of Brian though. Well, now that I look at the pictures he does a bit.

:K)

The only reason I saw it was because he was in it! Otherwise I couldn't stand watching it. He looked good up until they had him wear a beard. Didn't like his face being covered. Now that I think of it, I've seen some pretty bad movies because of him. AI comes to mind.

Sondra · « **Reply #12 on:** July 11, 2004, 05:50:42 AM »

Nicole Kidman gets to be in movies with all the cutest guys. Lucky girl. I wonder if Jude played Epstein he'd have to look all frumpy and stuff. Not that that's even possible.

Maybe not! In Road to Perdition the gave him gross yellow rotting teeth a receding hairline and pastey skin and he STILL looked hot! The director said it was very hard trying to make him look ugly. But he tried![/quote]

LOL oh wow, i haven't seen that one! i bet he looks good though

do u have any idea when this brian epstein one is coming out? is it gonna be a tv movie or theater?

Sondra · « **Reply #16 on:** July 11, 2004, 06:22:57 AM »

Jude just bought Epsteins old diarys and wants to make the movie. I don't think he's even started. He has his own production company though with some other actors (Ewan McGregor another hottie) so I'm sure he'll get it done. At least I hope so!

sexy sadie · « **Reply #17 on:** July 11, 2004, 06:29:46 AM »

awesomeeee. very cool -- i can't wait!

Some info:
Brian Epstein Biopic: iC Liverpool talked with Jude Law briefly about his role as legendary Beatles manager Brian Epstein in an upcoming project. The actor recently purchased some of Epstein's journals from auction and will use them to help his performance: "They run from when he was 15 until he was 27, with sketches and odd little notes - very funny. He was quite a personality". Law is about to head to Italy for the other part of his preparation - "eating pasta and drinking Guinness" in order to put on weight to play the part. Law has been delaying the project for a while now until he "felt old enough" for the part, and isn't expected to appear at this year's Oscars. Both Paul McCartney & Ringo Starr are apparently pleased with the idea of the project.

And a different article:

As soon as he has the chance, Law plans to make a film of the life of the former Beatles manager Brian Epstein, which he has co-written and will produce and star in for Natural Nylon. He has spent five years researching it, and bought Epstein's diaries when they came up for auction last year. "They run from when he was 15 until he was 27, with sketches and odd little notes - very funny. He was quite a personality."

Portraying the homosexual Epstein will necessitate some changes to his slender build. "I've got to put on a bit of weight to play Brian so I'll go off to Italy for a couple months and eat pasta and drink Guinness," he says. He seems positively elated at the thought.

Jude Law will not be playing Brian Epstein, although he did express his wish some years ago that he'd like to portray Brian in a movie.
There is a film to be made about Brian, it's directed by a Continental director and the contact is info@fifthbeatlemovie.com. However, Jude Law won't be in it as I believe it is a low budget production. I contacted Jude Law's office a couple of years ago and talked to his secretary and also sent a letter asking for permission to have a look at Brian's diaries, but this was denied. It's sad when someone buys material which has such intrinsic value and the material is then unavailable for people to study.
