John Lennon fans will have to settle for just "A Day in the Life" for now.
The world premiere of "Three Days in the Life," comprising two hours of previously unseen footage of the late Beatles icon, was canceled Tuesday after Yoko Ono's lawyers warned the film's producers that she hadn't authorized the project for public viewing.
The film was scheduled to screen at Berwick Academy, a private school in southern Maine. The stepson of "Three Days in the Life's" executive director, Ray Thomas, is a student there.
According to Ono's legal camp, Lennon's widow has a copyright interest in the film and even free screenings--such as the one set to occur at Berwick--are verboten without her permission. Thomas and business partner John Fallon had planned on a series of free screenings at high schools and colleges.
