Co-starring Emily Watson, Eddie Marsan, Lukas Gage, Rosie Day, and Bill Milner, Midas Man tells the story of Beatles’ manager Brian Epstein’s role and influence in pop music, particularly of the 1960s.
Jay Leno, who hasn’t appeared in a live-action film as a character other than himself since the 90s, will play television icon Ed Sullivan.
Leno’s appearance in the film as Sullivan will revisit some of the Beatles’ first appearances in front of an American audience as musical guests on the longest-running variety show in U.S. broadcast history, The Ed Sullivan Show.
Midas Man is still in pre-production. It will be directed by Sara Sugarman.
