ANY TIME AT ALL: Nowhere Boy, the acclaimed film that tells the story of John Lennon’s early days, has gotten a U.S. release date, Roger Friedman reports in Showbiz 411. The Weinstein Company will open the film on Friday, Oct. 8, to mark what would have been Lennon’s 70th birthday… Actually, John’s birthday is October 9, but movies don’t open on Saturdays, so that’s close enough for rock & roll. Nowhere Boy has already its run in the U.K. and had been shown at various film festivals, to mostly high praise. The film has attained some notoriety, Roger notes, because the director, a woman named Sam Taylor Wood, is now pregnant with the baby of the star, Aaron Johnson, who plays Lennon. He’s 23 years her junior. The baby is due in late summer. (3/26a)
