Yesterday with Richard Curtis | Picturehouse Podcast

Sam Clements is joined by celebrated screenwriter Richard Curtis to talk about his new musical comedy film Yesterday, directed by Danny Boyle.  Aspiring singer-songwriter Jack Malik (Himesh Patel) is struggling with his career. He’s just a man with big dreams and a guitar, loved and supported by his childhood best friend, Ellie (Lily James); and he’s far from famous. Until one day, during a mysterious global blackout, a car hits him and he comes round to find that nobody remembers The Beatles – apart from him! Feeling obliged to bring the legendary melodies of the Fab Four back to life, and with a little help from his steely American agent (Kate McKinnon), Jack rises to global stardom faster than you can say, ‘I believe in yesterday.’ But he may have taken on more than he can handle.
