If The Beatles never existed
 |
| What if the Beatles and their songs never existed?. |
Richard Curtis, who has delivered scripts to movies like “Four weddings and a funeral”, “Love Actually” and “Notting Hill” is working on a new movie, tentatively titled “All You Need is Love”.
The movie is about a struggling musician in a world where the Beatles and their music never existed. One day he wakes up, remembering them all – but he is the only one.
Popular British pop star Ed Sheeran has been in talks about writing some of the music in the movie, and also having a cameo. Of course, the Beatles’ music will also be used.
Director is Danny Boyle, previously famous for “Slumdog Millionaire”.

Of course, the notion that The Beatles never really existed is a premise for a conspiracy theory. Conspiracy theorists have alleged the Fab Four group were formed of “multiples” and “body doubles”, not the four individual men from Liverpool we have been led to believe.

And they claim there’s visible proof that photos of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr differ throughout Beatlemania – making it “impossible” for them to have been the same people.
A website called The Beatles Never Existed has been dedicated to this theory since 2011, but is now closed, citing “other more current and pressing worldwide issues confronting humanity”. For more info about this, we therefore refer you to The Daily Star.
What a naff idea for a film. And of course Ed Sheeran's involvement just makes it the ultimate turn off for me
Sounds like total crap. More fluffy Notting Hill type middle class piffle from Curtis. And the thought of that tuneless gremlin, Sheeran, butchering Beatles classics is enough to turn my stomach….
Love the way peôple dismiss something they haven't even seen. Imagine someone writing a song called 'i am the walrus'. Sounds ridiculous, oh no wait hang on….
Damn straight, I think the movie yesterday is going to be a monster hit of the summer

They've got a point…
