Nutini's role for teenage Lennon musical
A LEADING Scottish movie producer has confirmed plans to turn his John Lennon film Nowhere Boy into a musical with original songs from pop star Paolo Nutini.The project is a departure for Edinburgh-born Douglas Rae, managing director of Ecosse Films, who is best known for producing the BBC TV series Mistresses and historical films including Mrs Brown, Charlotte Gray and Becoming Jane."One of my favourite composers and singers is Paolo Nutini, and Paolo is helping us with the music and the words so it will be original songs," said Rae, speaking for the first time about the project.His 2009 film version was directed by Sam Taylor-Wood and focuses on Lennon's teenage years and his relationships with the two dominant women in his life: his aunt Mimi, who brought him up, and his mother, Julia.
