Seeing as the only film artist Sam Taylor-Wood has made before is a 15 minute short that solely featured a man mastubating in the desert, it’s difficult not to view her feature debut with a little trepidation. As it’s closing the London Film Festival tonight (October 29th, 2009), the trailer for Nowhere Boy has now been released, which suggests it might actually be pretty good. The film tells the story of the early years on John Lennon, from being brought up by his formidable aunt after his mother gave him up, to finding a kindred spirit in Paul McCartney and starting a band.

Although if it just us, or have the makers gone out of their way to find actors who look nothing like the people they’re playing?
