00:00Yesterday, it's one of the greatest songs ever written.
00:02Well, it's not Coldplay. It's not Fix You.
00:05Danny Boyle's Beatles film Yesterday will close out this year's Tribeca Film Festival,
00:10which will take place from April 24 until May 5 in New York City.
00:14The Universal movie, which lands in theaters June 28,
00:17stars Himesh Patel as a struggling British singer-songwriter
00:19who wakes up after a bus accident in a world where no one has heard of the Beatles
00:23because they never existed.
00:25So, he does his civic duty and introduces the iconic band's catalog to the masses,
00:30and of course, he becomes a megastar.
00:31The movie, which will screen at Tribeca on May 4, also stars Lily James and Kate McKinnon.
00:37In addition to the previously announced anniversary screenings of Reality Bites,
00:41and this is Spinal Tap, Tribeca will also feature anniversary screenings of Say Anything
00:47and Apocalypse Now.
00:49The Apocalypse Now 40th anniversary screening will be followed by a discussion
00:53with director Francis Ford Coppola.
00:55The Say Anything, Reality Bites and Spinal Tap screenings will also be followed by discussions
00:59with the creative team behind those films.
01:02Director Cameron Crowe said in a statement,
01:04Can't believe it's been 30 years since we made Say Anything.
01:07Big thanks to Paula Weinstein and the Tribeca Film Festival for bringing us together
01:11for this anniversary screening and a chance to watch the movie again on the big screen
01:15with old friends and a brand new audience.
