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.

Every time I listen to it, I’m transported to a sunny place, or suddenly I’m in London.” The author also has a personal memory linked to this record. “One day in autumn 1989, on a cloudy, rainy Saturday morning, I accompanied my dad, who had some work to do,” he adds. “At some point, I was waiting for him i...
