John Lennon left is mark on history. He started out life in a small band, The Beatles, and then discovered the musical talent of Yoko Ono and it was all up from there.
I jest. Lennon was a great man who tried to make a difference in the world, through his music and campaigning. A new documentary is on the way about his period in his life, Borrowed Time: Lennon’s Last Decade, and we have a trailer for you.
We reported the other day that there is a four part Beatles biopic on the way. It didn’t sound all that interesting, but the final years of Lennon’s life does.
Borrowed Time is directed by Alan G. Parker, known for Hello Quo, Love Kills: The Story of Sid and the Pistols, and It was Fifty Years Ago Today…Sgt Pepper and Beyond. The movie has new footage and goes into Lennon’s life in great detail.
His Last Decade
Here are the details we were sent:
Follow the legend as he evolves beyond The Beatles, creating revolutionary music and standing at the forefront of anti-war protests. It made him one of the most influential pop culture icons of all time.
Hear musicians, journalists, and close friends of the man himself set the record straight on the truth behind many famous Lennon moments, brought to life by rare archive footage, including never-before-seen interviews. For the first time ever, the full story of how John and Yoko met is revealed and watch as the curtain is lifted on the 1981 comeback tour that never came to be. This monumental film is a must-see for Lennon, Beatles and music fans alike.
Speaking on the upcoming release, Director Alan G. Parker said:
“I am so excited to share Borrowed Time: Lennon’s Last Decade with UK audiences. I’ve made a number of films, but this is the first one that feels personal. I never met John Lennon, but through his music he became the older brother that this bullied kid needed”.
Borrowed Time: Lennon’s Last Decade will be in UK cinemas on the 2nd of May. In addition to the film hitting cinemas on 2nd May, fans can also enjoy the 3.5-hour Director’s Cut, streaming the same day for one month exclusively on the Icon Film Channel (available for subscribers on Amazon Prime Video Channels or via the standalone app).
