Sean Lennon Talks to NME About Restoring John & Yoko's 1972 New York Concert Film - 'Walls and Bridges' Box Set Planned for Next Year

NME chats with Sean about "Power To The People: John & Yoko Live in NYC," which screens today in select theaters.

Some snippets:

I’ve got to ask you about the Sam Mendes Beatles films – has anyone reached out to you?

“Yeah, I met everyone on the film set. I think Harris [Dickinson, playing John Lennon] is amazing. I think he’s really smart and I did hear him do my dad’s voice a little bit – and it was so good. It was kind of spooky actually. But there’s also something really funny about meeting someone half your age who is supposed to be your dad.”

Did you get to meet Anna Sawai, who’s playing your mum?

“Yeah, I know Anna. We kind of hung out a little bit. She’s a very studious person. She would ask me questions about my family and she was really serious, you know, taking notes and thinking about it. They both understand the craft. I have a lot of faith in them to play those roles.”

Did Anna speak to your mum as well?

“No, not really. She’s retired now. She’s 93. She’s not going to micro-manage this project.”

Are there any more John and Yoko jobs on the horizon?

“I can say that we’re going to do [Lennon’s 1974 album] ‘Walls And Bridges’ probably next year. I don’t like promising things though.”
