Matt Greenhalgh has confirmed that he is making a biopic based around the early life of John Lennon.

Greenhalgh has just finished work on Control, a movie charting the life of Joy Division singer Ian Curtis, and now the writer is switching his attentions to the former Beatle.

He told the Manchester Evening News: "The film is called Lennon and details John's adolescent years, pre-Beatlemania.

"It came to me off the back of Control - the producers of Lennon saw Control, and then asked me if I'd consider doing the script for them. It wasn't a particularly hard decision for me to say yes."

Control is released nationwide in October.
