    Martin Scorsese to Direct Harrison Biopic

    Next to reunions, musical biopics are all the rage. Anton Corbin's already critically-acclaimed film about Joy Division frontman Ian Curtis, titled 'Control,' is set for release on October 10, while the Todd Haynes-directed Bob Dylan film 'I'm Not There' -- which sees six different actors playing the folk legend -- follows in November. And then there's 'Shine a Light,' Martin Scorsese's forthcoming Rolling Stones film, which is slated for an April 2008 release.

    But the Oscar-winning director isn't stopping there. According to Variety, he's signed on for an as-yet untitled documentary of George Harrison's life. "George Harrison's music and his search for spiritual meaning is a story that still resonates today," he said of the Beatles guitarist. "I'm looking forward to delving deeper."

    Scorsese plans to follow Harrison's years with the Beatles, his solo music and movie career, as well as his dedication to Eastern religions. He will work closely with Harrison's widow ,Olivia, who is optimistic about the project. "It would have given George great joy to know that Martin Scorsese has agreed to tell his story," she said.
