Scorsese enlisted the help Harrison’s widow Olivia to co-create the documentary, which will contain interviews with Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Eric Idle, Tom Petty, Yoko Ono and Phil Spector. The doc will focus heavily on Harrison’s spiritual side, but will span his entire time with the beatles to his death in 2001.
Previous rock docs Scorsese helmed include The Last Waltz (The Band), No Direction Home (Bob Dylan), and most recently Shine A Light (The Rolling Stones), all of which have set the bar outrageously high for the Harrison film, but let’s face it, this is some star-studded stuff here between director, material, and subject. I’ll be there opening night with bells on.
