Liam Gallagher has reportedly bought the film rights to Richard Di Lello's book 'The Longest Cocktail Party: An Insider's Diary Of The Beatles, Their Million Dollar Apple Empire And Its Wild Rise And Fall'.

Both Gallagher brothers have previously mentioned how much they love the book, which follows the fab four from the height of their popularity in 1967 to their eventual split in 1970. Liam is said to have formed a partnership between his own film company, In 1 Productions, and Revolution Films in order to make the movie a reality.

According to a spokesperson from In1 Productions, "This will be a film with humour and affection, providing an insider's look at what it meant to be a young man caught up in the wild swirl of the music business, celebrities and the tail end of the swinging 60s in London". The Guardian expect the former Oasis man to officially announce the project at the Cannes Film Festival during the week.
