Following are links to the IMDB info; the Wikipedia info and the youtube movie trailer of the new John Lennon bio pic called "Nowhere Boy" which covers John's childhood and teen years. It's based on the book "Imagine This:  Gorwing Up With My Brother, John Lennon" by his half sister Julia Baird and focuses on the influence/relationship with his Aunt Mimi who raised him and his mom as well as his friendship with Paul McCartney (My eyes popped when I saw the blonde haired kid who had the crush on the little girl who sang "All I Want for Christmas is You" from "Love, Actually" playing the part of Paul .... they grow up so fast.) and stars one of my favorite actors, Kristin Scott-Thomas.

I'm sure there will plenty of online articles and reviews coming out and I'm looking forward to hearing what Paul thinks.  A cursory google finds the following quote from timesonline.co.uk

quote: "Taking issue with Sam Taylor-Wood's new film about Lennon, Nowhere Boy, to be released in December, McCartney said he had told the artist: “Oh God, Sam, that's nothing like it was.” He scotched several rumours, including the one that John Lennon was homosexual: “The people who say John was gay didn't share the same bed with him like I did.” Anyone can write about the Beatles, McCartney concluded, but “they weren't all there”."

I'm sure there are more to find out there.  I'm definitely going to see this movie.  While obviously John's sister couldn't know everything that happened between him and Paul, she would certainly have been in a position to see, hear and overhear things, so even if a modicum of it is true, I'll be there.  The preview looks pretty good imho.
