The story of John Lennon is headed for the big screen with "Nowhere Boy," a biopic that will be directed by visual artist Sam Taylor-Wood.

Produced by U.K. shingle Ecosse Films, the script from "Control" screenwriter Matt Greenhalgh will focus on the Beatle's childhood and subsequent journey to icon status. Filming is set to take place on location in Lennon's hometown of Liverpool.

10. Over Julian? Surely you jest. Yoko's puppy is devoid of talent and does not look like John.

11. He'd make a better John Belushi.

24. He always reminds me more of Jim Belushi

6. Well I learned the other day that God smote John Lennon for not believing in God...

so I figured the Devil's been hanging out with him a lot and could give an accurate performance an' all.

8. Satan was at DU recently, went by the name of Louis Cyphre or something like that.

He's a complete douchebag and he smells like cabbage.

15. He was banned. He "deviled" poorly.

25. I think this is a good one.

He doesn't look much like John -- but I could see him losing himself in the part.

9. Maybe Daniel Radcliffe?

18. don't know him, but like your choice!

now tell me he's really famous, an I can crawl back under my 'know nothing about current stars' rock!

[CBHagman]

19. Brace yourself, dear heart.

I picked him because he is British, has an interesting acting resume, and would suit for the young John Lennon part. I haven't heard him do a Liverpudlian accent, but then again, that's why we have dialect coaches.

But yes, he is famous. Check it out:
