“Across The Universe” is described like this: “At once gritty, whimsical and highly theatrical, Revolution Studios’ Across the Universe is an original movie musical springing from the imagination of The Beatles, acclaimed director Julie Taymor and Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.” It is what can only be called a tribute musical, which uses the Beatles original music, and reinterpretations to tell a tale as old as time of love, loss and Mr Kite.
Yes. Bishmillah strikes again. Here are the character names in “Across The Universe”:
Jude. Sadie. Prudence. Maxwell. JoJo. Lucy. Dr Robert. Molly. Mr Kite. DESMOND.
Look here is a still from the film.
Mr Kite is played by Eddie Izzard. One assumes not for the benefit of the audience.
Dr Robert is played by Bono.
Maxwell has a silver hammer.
The line “We’re in the middle of a Revolution, JUDE” is said with all seriousness.
Here is a review of the film what calls it not very good.
Here is the trailer which makes it look terrible.
I CAN’T WAIT!
