Banner's acquired feature rights to band member Paul Tennant's tome "All You Need Is Luck... or How I Got a Record Deal by Meeting Paul McCartney."
As detailed in the yet-to-be-published book, Tennant and his bandmates chased McCartney into Hyde Park in London and talked their way into recording a demo, then got a deal after John Lennon and Brian Epstein heard the group play, shortly before Epstein died.
The group, which still performs together, spent a year recording "First Bite of the Apple" while the Beatles empire began unraveling. Pic will include several Focal Point songs.
Foldy, who's written the script, is planning to shoot in September in Liverpool and London, backed by Canadian and British funding. He's hoping to receive McCartney's endorsement of the project.
Foldy was a writer and producer on the Showtime series "My First Time."
