After a tumultuous production, the long-awaited Brian Epstein biopic is finally ready for viewing. Midas Man endured a long road to success with two directors departing the project before Joe Stephenson finally settled in as the man who would helm it to the finish line. The Queen’s Gambit star Jacob Fortune-Lloyd plays Epstein, the man renowned for masterminding the meteoric rise of The Beatles into one of the greatest music bands ever.
Midas Mind presents a holistic portrait of a man who lived a short life but made the absolute most of it by passionately committing to his ambitions. The biopic will chronicle his journey from his days as a small-time Liverpool record store owner with a vision. With the Beatles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, and more, Epstein proved to have quite the Midas touch, shaping the sound of a generation.
As the trailer reveals, Epstein was completely sold on the Beatles from the moment he watched them perform for the first time. He's seen introducing himself to the original band members at the trailer's start before proposing to become their manager. Despite the odds, Epstein was certain of his conviction as he can be heard rebuffing a disapproving music executive -"Those boys will be bigger than Elvis.
'Midas Man' Features An Ensemble Cast Midas Man features performances from powerhouse names including Emily Watson and Eddie Marsan who both play Epstein's parents. Lukas Gage plays Epstein's lover, Tex Ellington, Bill Milner plays Epstein's brother, while Rosie Day plays Cilla Black, who equally has Epstein to thank for her musical success.
Midas Man will be released in the UK on October 30, but is yet without a US release. Check out the trailer above.
