Come Together! The Lion King's Julie Taymor in Negotiation to Helm Beatles Stage Adaptation

Is it a case of “Got To Get You Into My Life?” The Lion King Tony winner Julie Taymor is in talks to helm a tuner using the works of The Beatles. According to the New York Post, Marty Bandier, who is in charge of Sony/ATV, has approached her about the project.

Taymor recently directed Grounded, starring Anne Hathaway, off-Broadway. Her additional Great White Way credits include the notorious Spider-Man: Turn Off The Dark, The Green Bird and Juan Darien. She helmed the Beatles-inspired movie, Across the Universe, although this new stage adaptation would not be based on it.

This wouldn't be the first time the fab four tried to hold Broadway's hand. Beatlemania, a musical revue, played on the Great White from 1977 through 1979 and Rain: A Tribute to the Beatles ran 2010-2011.
