"Fifth Beatle" Brian Epstein is getting his own biopic
A graphic novel about Beatles manager Brian Epstein is being made into a movie. The Fifth Beatle was originally written by Broadway producer Vivek J. Tiwary, who also penned the screenplay tracking Epstein’s career as he “helped guide the band to international stardom as their manager, securing their first record deal at a time when no one else was interested, and successfully bringing them to the world stage with a scale and scope no music impresario had ever attempted.” Epstein died of a drug overdose at the age of 32 in 1967.
