The Beatles' Manager Is Also Getting a Biopic
Charting Brian Epstein's life with the Fab Four, 'Midas Man' will be available to stream in North America next month
Midas Man follows Epstein's life, which he navigated as a gay Jewish man who went from running a record shop in Liverpool to becoming "the fifth Beatle," and features a soundtrack by composer Alex Baranowski.
"Jacob Fortune-Lloyd stars as the mastermind behind the Beatles' meteoric rise, navigating a whirlwind of unprecedented fame, cultural revolution, and personal demons," a synopsis of the film reads. "But behind the glitz and glamour lies a man seeking acceptance and love in a world not ready. Midas Man peels back the curtain on the swinging '60s, revealing the triumphs, heartbreaks, and secrets of the man who changed the face of music forever. Step into Brian's world, where every touch turns to gold, but the most precious treasure remains just out of reach."
Check out the trailer below, as well as Exclaim!'s review from the movie's premiere at the Toronto Jewish Film Festival earlier this year.
