"The Fifth Beatle" Movie Moves Ahead

Bruce Cohen ("Silver Linings Playbook," "Milk") is set to produce "The Fifth Beatle," a film adaptation of author Vivek J. Tiwary's graphic novel of the same name says Deadline.

The project is described as a human story chronicling the life of The Beatles iconic manager Brian Epstein.

Tiwary is writing the adapted script for the film.

This marks the first feature about The Beatles to obtain the rights to use their original songs.

Production begins next year.
