Scorsese's George Harrison Doc To Air on HBO

Beatles fans can look forward to a special treat in October.

According to a story by Joe Gracely at nydailynews.com, Martin Scorcese's George Harrison documentary, "George Harrison: Living in the Material World," has been acquired by HBO to air as a two-part special October 5 and 6.

The network promises a film that will take "viewers on the musical and spiritual voyage that was George Harrison's life" - from Liverpool lad to Beatle to the philanthropy and filmmaking of his later life - all through much of his own words and never-before-seen home videos and photographs.

"From rock'n'roll icon to moviemaker, to spiritual seeker and humanitarian, George Harrison was a true renaissance man," HBO Programming president Michael Lombardo said Wednesday in a statement. "This amazing film will illuminate every aspect of Harrison's remarkable, multifaceted life.”

Industry giants and friends Eric Clapton, Terry Gilliam, Eric Idle, George Martin, Paul McCartney, Yoko Ono, Tom Petty, Phil Spector, Ringo Starr, and Jackie Stewart are all on hand to lend their voices and insight into Harrison's life.
