Harvey Weinstein: The fifth Beatle? 01:48 PM PT, Mar 19 2009 For all of us Beatles fans, the news earlier this week that the Weinstein Co. had acquired "Nowhere Boy," a coming-of-age tale about John Lennon's tumultuous teenage years in Liverpool, was cause for high hopes, especially because the script, written by Matt Greenhalgh, offers a bracingly unsentimental portrait of the fabled artist as a young scamp -- sensitive but bitingly sarcastic, smart but achingly soulful, wildly ambitious but without a ruthless bone in his body. The script, which I've read, has a host of the most vivid moments from early Beatles mythology, but always plays them in the right key, capturing John's artistic drive and caustic wit. When Lennon and Paul McCartney first meet, at a Quarrymen rehearsal at the St. Peter's Church Hall, a friend shows up with Paul, who's come armed with a guitar. The friend says, "Paul plays too." Lennon immediately responds: "With himself?" After he gets a round of giggles, John takes the edge off it, adding "I do. All the time. Good for the wrist muscles." But for Weinstein, who turned 57 today, the acquisition of the film -- now shooting in and around Liverpool -- was more personal. For the veteran film impresario, being involved with a Beatles project was the equivalent of coming full circle. Back in the late 1960s and early 1970s, when Weinstein was a skinny, long-haired, bell-bottomed teenager, he worked at Apple Records' New York office. The highlight of his job involved running errands for Paul McCartney and picking up Lennon at the airport. For a 16-year-old Beatles fan, full of Hollywood dreams, it was nirvana. ......

Let me know if I'm going too far off-topic. I have a tendency to do that.
Paula, thanks for posting the pics of Julia. I was wondering what she looked like.

I don't think red suits her. It really ages her; now she definitely looks her age and even older. The only hair colour that looks good on her is blonde (she's a natural brunette, btw).
I wonder if this will be her "breakout" role, and I wonder if she'll ever really break into the American market. Personally, I tend to think 'no'. Her age is against her and I feel like any of the fans she has are all female and that she won't reach the male demographic... but we will see.

Ya, don't know, qwerty. I think I have to agree with you. Thing is, no one had ever heard of Melissa Leo before she got nominated for Best Actress for Frozen River. Anne Marie may be one of those surprise dark horses like Leo, Roberto Benigni (It's a Beautiful Life), and Pauline Collins (Best Actress nominee for Shirley Valentine), for example. Unfortunately, they made a mark and then retreated back from whence they came.

I don't think male demographic will have anything to do with AMD's success or lack of here, in the states. She's of the caliber of Kate Blanchet (sp?), who is not your typical beauty. Felicity Huffman another one, not your typical beauty - and who was acknowledged mainstream at a later age.
Her hair - she described it as a "mousey brown" LOL! Agree she looks best as a blond.
