In this new rom/com directed by Danny Boyle (Trainspotting) from a script by Richard Curtis (Four Weddings And A Funeral), Brit newcomer Himesh Patel plays Jack Malik a struggling musician who gets knocked over by a bus and takes a very nasty clonk to the head and then wakes up in in a parallel universe that thinks he’s composed Beatle song catalogue as no-one has ever heard of them.
Kate McKinnon is his talent agent who presumably milks this new-found gold mine of tunes for all its worth, the ‘rom’ part looks like being provided by Lily James as Malik’s friend Elli, and Ed Sheeran has a cameo part playing himself.
Universal Pictures will release the movie in the US on June 28th 2019
