According to a report in Variety, despite Revolution Studios paying Sony/ATV Publishing $8.25 million for the right to record the film’s 33 Lennon & McCartney songs, the studio is barred from invoking the Beatles in its campaign for the Across the Universe movie which opened this weekend to positive critical reviews.Â
Alan J. Porter has been a Beatles fan since he first saw them perform on a regional British TV show back in 1963 when he was just a wee lad. He is the author of the critically acclaimed BEFORE THEY WERE BEATLES and occasional contributor to Beatlology Magazine. He now lives in Central Texas and occasionally writes about things other than The Fab Four. You can find out more here.
