‘Revolver’: Beatles-Themed Comedy Will Star Maya and Ethan Hawke
Oct 30, 2020
Real-life father and daughter Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawk e will star together in Revolver , a comedy about a young woman trying to get very close to the Beatles after a plane carrying the Fab Four unexpectedly lands in her hometown of Anchorage, Alaska. WALL-E and Finding Nemo / Finding Dory director Andrew Stanton is set to helm the film from a script by Stranger Things writer Kate Trefry .
Per Variety , Ethan Hawke and Maya Hawke will star together in Revolver , which has quite the premise:
Set in 1966, Maya Hawke will play Jane, a teen resident of Anchorage, Alaska. When the impossible happens — a flight to Japan carrying The Beatles is forced to make an unexpected stop — all hell breaks loose as the unsuspecting residents are consumed by Beatlemania. Jane devises a plan to lose her virginity to George Harrison, discovering that adventure (and romance) are actually a little closer to home than she thought.
This sounds similar to Robert Zemeckis’ 1978 comedy I Wanna Hold Your Hand , and that’s fine. I do wonder if Revolver will take the same approach as that film and keep the Beatles mostly off-screen, or if they’re going to go all-out and cast actors to play the band. If they’re going with the later approach I suggest they use the cast that played the Beatles in Walk Hard , because you have to admit that would be very funny.
