Evan, a 16-year-old Lennon wannabe, is thrilled when the Beatles move in next door to his Beverly Hills home before playing the Hollywood Bowl in 1965. Evan is desperate to meet John. John wants to meet Elvis before the rest of the Beatles do that night. To make it happen they spend a day together that will forever change their lives.

Mark Rosman said of the project: "One day in 1965 I found the Beatles were right next door to my house, and this became the launching point for a movie about my youth, my love of music, the 60's, and a very close call I had with my hero – John Lennon. The Beatles remain as relevant and popular as ever, and Lennon continues to be a huge fascination and draw all over the world.  In a time when social consciousness is being reignited by changes in Washington, a look back at the 60's and John Lennon is as timely as ever."

Producer Simon Brooks added: "In My Life sheds light on a critical (and little known) turning point in Beatle history.  Mark's personal account of a summer in 1965 seamlessly weaves true events with fiction that will bring audiences on a journey through the height of Beatlemania and particularly John Lennon. The talent of Wyatt, Kevin and Janeane will bring this great story to life."

Rosman is an award-winning Writer and Director known for films including Warner Bros' A Cinderella Story, Universal's The Perfect Man, and Disney's Life-Size.
