When they weren’t spreading peace and love, they were trying to cast Stanley Kubrick’s movies.
John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, also known as The Beatles, are no strangers to big or small screens. Having starred as character versions of themselves in the 1964 feature film A Hard Day's Night and its more colorful and bizarre sequel Help!, The Beatles were keen to branch into the film industry in many different ways. John Lennon took time off from his band duties in 1966 to act in How I Won the War on a set in Almeria.
What Would Mick Jagger's Version of 'A Clockwork Orange' Have Been? In 2015, a document went to auction via Paddle8 and was expected to reach anywhere from $18,000 and $25,000. The double-sided page was a petition typed by none other than Mick Jagger himself, and addressed to Dr. Strangelove screenwriter Terry Southern, who was looking to adapt Anthony Burgess' book A Clockwork Orange at the time.
Jagger had originally bought the film rights to A Clockwork Orange from Burgess for $500, only to sell it for a large profit to film producer Si Litvinoff, who would go on to produce the film with Kubrick as well as produce the David Bowie film The Man Who Fell to Earth later, in 1976. Before that, though, Litvinoff was revealed to have written a letter to Midnight Cowboy director John Schlesinger which resurfaced in 2008.
