The Daily Mail reports that Curtis, 61, has penned the script for the musical which has the tentative title All You Need Is Love - the name of the band's 1967 single of the same name - but  Working Title, who are producing the picture, insisted the project is still untitled.

From what is known at this moment is that the film will tell the story of a struggling musician who thinks he is the only one who remembers The Beatles.

Himesh Patel - best known for playing Tamwar Masood in EastEnders - has been cast as the musician and is so far the only star to be attached to the musical.

Th Beatles are the best-selling band in history, with estimated sales of more than 800 million physical and digital albums worldwide.

As well as their music, the band also starred in a number of films based around their hit songs including 1964 A Hard Day's Night and Help!
