Beatles' US 'impresario' for biopic?
The man who is known for bringing The Beatles to America is attempting to make a new movie based on his life story.

Veteran music impresario Sid Bernstein is widely credited for the influx of British bands to the US in the '60s, also including The Rolling Stones and The Kinks.

The 91-year-old has now inspired biopic Sid Bernstein Presents, which shows the promoter's rise from his humble beginnings in New York to his eventual success with some of the world's biggest groups, the New York Post reports.

The picture has yet to secure a distribution deal, however the star is asking friends and fans for their support.

He said: "I hope my friends and musical fans will support the film to learn why fighting for music matters."
