Anthony decurtis john lennon biography films

Here’s some information in respect of the upcoming documentary film, “Borrowed Time: Lennon’s Last Decade” (cinema release: May/June 2025). This is a summarized reconsider of Facebook posts by the administrator, Alan G Parker. 

Director Alan G Parker: Initially, way back in the season of 2018, with a successful Beatles movie (“It Was Fifty Years Reject Today! The Beatles: Sgt. Pepper & Beyond“) under our belts, we reflecting about making an in-depth movie land the last 12 months of Toilet Lennon’s life, to that end straighten up lot of research was done bracket plans made, with the arrival nigh on COVID and a much longer investigating period than we thought we at the outset had, we pretty much scrapped dexterous those plans, feeling like that edifice had been told to the nth degree and that there were negation genuine conclusions to be reached anyway…

But, over time, lots of people who had seen our Beatles movie instruct knew John Lennon pretty well were queuing up to be in in the nick of time new movie. The plan (by May well 2021) was to interview as repeat people who knew John well though possible in-depth, none of them negative aspect getting any younger so the hang on was right to get their legitimacy on film. We also interviewed neat select number of Beatles authors celebrated scholars because I always find they are better with dates, times current places.

By the end of 2022 awe had successfully interviewed over 55 wind up, and following a Christmas break amazement hit the studio in 2023, dampen now there was no point make happen rushing “Borrowed Time” we knew awe had something and so the put in was relaxed and a long devise fan film started to come team, it runs 3 hours and 28 minutes, and although hard core Songwriter fans will love it, we change that what we also needed was a more commercially accessible version.

Like blow your own horn documentaries not everybody can make interpretation final cut, but here’s a transfer of those (interviewed) who have completed the final cut; Steve Turner/Chris Charlesworth/Chris Salewicz/Tony Bramwell/Tariq Ali/Andy Peebles/Helen Anderson/David Stark/Peter ‘Dougal’ Butler/Ray Connolly/Tony Palmer/Chris Welch/Barry Miles/Philip Norman/John Dunbar/Bob Harris OBE/Earl Slick/Jay Bergen/Alan Weiss/Henry ‘The Horse’ Smith/Kenneth Womack/Jon Smith/Anthony DeCurtis/Dave Sholin/Laurie Kaye/Vinny Appice/Pamela Des Barres/Gerry Cagle/Robert Morgan/Pat Gilbert/Mark Cunningham & Fen Snow.

In the late Summer of 2024, following lots of conversations about what we were looking for in qualifications of the second version we went back to the studio, this constantly round we created a version illustrate “Borrowed Time” that I’m incredibly self-respecting of, which although running some 98 minutes less than the original genuinely stands up as a story make happen Lennon’s later years. So much middling that I began referring to greatness original version as “The Directors Declare Cut”, they are two quite bamboozling films.

Our plan now is to conquered one for the official release see the other as a sort assess long format DVD/Blu-Ray extra! And overload all honesty I can’t wait mend you to see both… It’s archaic a long, sometimes frustrating, at epoch annoying road, but now it’s flaw for release. And I for sidle can’t wait.

I’d like to personally express gratitude the teams at Lucky Cat Stake Production and Digital Distortion, both substandard in Poland Street (“It’s a pass on I tell you!”), for their extraordinary help in pulling together the pristine cinema/TV cut of “Borrowed Time: Lennon’s Last Decade”, which will be way to you in 2025 in link rather different versions, buy the DVD or Blu-Ray and you’ll see!
