Gallagher said he’d like Depp to play Derek Taylor, the band’s publicist. “Derek Taylor was a dude,” he told Q. “He’s up there with Lennon. The film script is done. It’s gonna blow people’s minds, man. I’m just waiting to find out when we choose the actors. I want Johnny Depp to play Derek Taylor. It’s got Johnny Depp written all over it, man.”
The singer and and In 1 Productions are collaborating in the project with Revolution Films, whose co-founder is Andrew Eaton, producer of 2002 Factory Records biopic 24 Hour Party People.
