Telstar - the movie

Modculture.com brings us news of a Joe Meek biopic in the works, Telstar The Movie.



As they say over at Modculture: You really couldn't make up the story of maverick early 60s producer Joe Meek, so we expect his eventful life and career to make a pretty impressive flick when it hits the big screen as Telstar The Movie.

Yes, we expect the works - a rapid rise to fame, weird and wonderful 60s pop, London in its swinging infancy, madness, depression, bizarre studio equipment, heartbreak, paranoia, murder and suicide. We might even get some drug taking and a touch of the accult too.

A decent cast too, including Kevin Spacey, Con O'Neill, Pam Ferris, James Corden and Ralf Little, plus a top notch soundtrack obviously. Look out for it in cinemas from June 12th, enjoy the trailer below.

That'll be June 12th in the UK at least. Keep and eye for it. Looks like it might be fun.
