A film based on the life of Beatles manager Brian Epstein is to be made, according to reports.

 

A Life in the Day, written by Tony Gottelson, will be produced by US filmmaker David Permut, trade magazine Variety reported.

 

Permut told Variety the film would centre on the early days of the Beatles and that he hoped to secure the rights to use some of their songs.

 

Brian Epstein died in 1967, aged 32, from a sleeping pill overdose.

 

Epstein, who sold records at his father's shop, Nems, in Liverpool, became the band's manager after hearing them play at the city's Cavern Club.

 

"Everybody turned down the band, even though Brian promised they would become bigger than Elvis, and he finally got George Martin at EMI to change his mind and give them an audition."

 

Epstein also managed other Liverpool stars in the 1960s including Cilla Black and Gerry and the Pacemakers.
