Anne-Marie Duff to portray Lennon's mother in new film

Sam Taylor Wood has made her decision. Anne-Marie Duff will portray John Lennon's mother, Julia, in a film that explores the childhood and teen years of the Beatle.

Ms Taylor Wood said she was drawn to the project, Nowhere Boy, because the film will explore the relationship of two sisters - Lennon's mother and his Aunt Mimi - and the conflict they had over raising the boy.

Several other actresses were considered, including Kate Winslet (although she wasn't actually approached), but only Anne-Marie was offered the role, and she accepted.

Ms Taylor Wood and producers at Ecosse Films are looking at several actors to play Lennon, including fast-rising Aaron Johnson, currently shooting Matthew Vaughn's film Kick-Ass.
