Universal is in negotiations to option Anthony McCarten's script written for Michael De Luca Productions and Immersive Pictures producing. The picture is a collaboration with Yoko Ono and De Luca about her relationship with John Lennon..
Best known for his work on Dallas Buyers Club and Big Little Lies, Jean-Marc Vallee is attached to direct, edit and a rewrite alongside the original screenwriter. Focusing on the relationship that started while John was a Beatle and ended upon his death, this film has the potential to give a nice POV of a relationship that is legendary.
With a great director attached this one has the potential to already be scrutinized as a potential Oscar contender.
