The acclaimed director of films about the Rolling Stones (Shine A Light), the Band (The Last Waltz) and Bob Dylan (No Direction Home) has turned his attention to George Harrison. Harrison's widow, Olivia, has endorsed the project, telling The Hollywood Reporter her collaboration with director Martin Scorcese on the film  '...is a deeply personal journey' that has '...been excruciating', but says, 'I feel protected.  Marty had a connection with George, and they spent time together. And he is passionate about film and music as George was'.  The working title for the movie, which Scorcese hopes to have wrapped up in time for screenings in 2011, is Living In The Material World: George Harrison.
