ReplyDeleteMidas Man is a 2024 British biographical film about the life of music entrepreneur Brian Epstein, who managed the Beatles.
Based on a screenplay by Brigit Grant and Jonathan Wakeham, the film is directed by Joe Stephenson, after previous directors Sara Sugarman and Jonas Åkerlund moved on from the project.
After starting filming in October 2021, there were various hold-ups until it resumed in 2023, finishing that June. The film premiered at the 32nd Toronto Jewish Film Festival on 30 May 2024.
The film tracks how Brian Epstein rose to prominence by managing a series of popular artists including the Beatles, Cilla Black and Gerry and the Pacemakers before his sudden death in 1967 at the age of 32.
