Oscar-winning director
Danny Boyle and screenwriter Richard Curtis, of ‘
Notting Hill
’ and ‘Love Actually’ are set to present a musical comedy unlike any other with their upcoming film ‘Yesterday’. The trailer that dropped online on Tuesday, follows ordinary struggling song-writer Jack Malik, played by Himesh Patel, who meets with an accident during a global blackout, only to wake up in a world where no one knows
The Beatles
, except him.
Passing off their iconic songs like ‘Yesterday’, ‘Let It Be’ and many more as his own, he becomes an instant Pop phenomenon who gets his shot at fame, fortune, and everything that goes with it, along with a personal recording session with
Ed Sheeran
comically suggesting to change the lyrics of ‘
Hey Jude
’, to ‘Hey Dude’.
Besides the music putting into words and tunes the essence of this story, it being a Curtis script, fans can be assured it will also hold emphasis heavily on the romance between the lead pair.
In this day and age of biopics and documentary films on icons of our generation, ‘Yesterday’ is one Beatles movie no one saw coming.
