Here comes the sun.

Martin Scorsese revealed Thursday that he has finished shooting the documentary "Living in the Material World: George Harrison," working in tandem with Olivia Harrison, the musician's widow.

Producers are Scorsese, Harrison and Exclusive Media co-chair/CEO Nigel Sinclair. A 2011 release date is being eyed.

Exclusive, which holds worldwide rights, is shopping the project at Cannes, where Scorsese and Harrison are promoting the doc. There's no domestic distrib yet.

"Living in the Material World" is a production of Scorsese's Sikelia Prods., Olivia Harrison's Grove Street Prods. and Exclusive's Spitfire Pictures documentary label.

Scorsese is fascinated by rock 'n' roll musicians, and has chronicled some of the most iconic artists of the 20th century, including the Band ("The Last Waltz"), the Rolling Stones ("Shine a Light"), Bob Dylan ("No Direction Home: Bob Dylan") and, now, George Harrison.

Scorsese said the former Beatles' life was a remarkable musical and spiritual voyage. He and Olivia Harrison both said George Harrison was always trying to find the balance between the physical and the spiritual, hence the film's title.

"I grew up a Roman Catholic and wanted to become a priest, so it is a subject matter that has never left me. The more you're in the material world, the more the search for serenity," Scorsese said.

Harrison said she spent countless hours pouring through her husband's notes, cassette tapes and photos. Many of those materials have never been made public before.

Film also uses never-before-seen footage in tracing the guitarist and songwriter's life, from his days with the Beatles until his death in 2001. It includes interviews with those closest to him, including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton, Eric Idle, Tom Petty, Yoko Ono and Phil Spector.

Harrison wrote and released songs until his death. One note his widow found: "Goats on a roof."

Project reteams Scorsese, Sinclair and exec producer Margaret Bodde, who worked together on "No Direction Home."

"Living in the Material World" is now being edited by David Tedeschi, who cut both "No Direction Home" and "Shine a Light."

Scorsese said he worked on the doc simultaneously with "Shutter Island," and that working on a nonfiction film and a feature at the same time is a liberating experience. Similarly, he worked on "No Direction" at the same time that he was making "The Aviator."

"In a complicated way, it frees me from the constrictions of a feature. I have a narrative freedom," Scorsese said.

This debuts Oct. 5th & 6th on HBO in two parts.

This was really pretty cool. It seems like Scorcese went to great lengths to dig up all kinds of rare video clips and photographs of the Beatles years to piece together with interviews of those closest to him who're still around like Paul, Ringo, Yoko, Clapton, Patti Boyd, his son Dhani, and so forth. Part Two airs tomorrow night.

I really want to check this one out.

I'll kill you I'll fucking kill you this is my fucking house

its a 2 parter? nothing in the info says that

It's true, Mecca.

Part 1 was really cool. I loved seeing the stuff from Anthology that didnt make the cut. George was a pretty funny guy.

Yeah, and then just old Beatles clips you'd never really seen before, like that guy jumping up onstage to shake Lennon's hand mid-song, or the side shot of guys coming out of their seats in the stands to dance off stage and George cracking up at the sight while singing. And all the pictures of him in India were all really nice as well. It was really well done, but I'm excited to see the post-Beatles years just as much tonight.

madonna is pissed

That was really good. The insight into his relationships with Monty Python, The Wilburys, racing, his family, all that stuff... very well done. I'd never seen footage of him discussing Lennon's death before, nor had anyone really heard how horrific that murder attempt really was. I can't believe its been a decade since he died. Like his life, the documentary wasn't long enough.

I can't say how much I enjoyed this. I'm not even a big Beatles fan, but George was always my favorite.

Fanfuckingtastic two part doc.

My one gripe, no Dylan interview.

Spector was pretty nuts though

Practically ghoulish with the makeup, wig, and a voice that sounded like he'd just finished gargling hot asphalt.

I can't wait to see this, really excited.

I guess I'll have to wait til it's out on DVD.

"What is the secret of a long marriage? Don't break up." The expression on her face was unforgettable when she admitted that George did his share of cheating.

i totally forgot about this one, ill try to watch it soon...



great line.
