Telstar is an upcoming film adaptation of James Hicks' play of the same name. It sees Con O'Neill reprising the role he played to great acclaim on the London stage and follows Joe Meek, the flamboyantly gay, songwriter-producer behind the '60s hits "Have I the Right?," "Just Like Eddie," "Johnny Remember Me" and "Telstar." The play was adapted for screen by Nick Moran, who also directs. This film is not to be confused with the 2008 documentary about Joe Meek called A Life in the Death of Joe Meek. |
