The Beady Eye frontman is to appear in an adaptation of Richard DiLello`s `The Longest Cocktail Party`, with director Michael Winterbottom - best known for `24 Hour Party People`, which documented Factory records and the legendary H Manchester music scene in the 1980s - noting the movie will be about the problems at Apple Records, the company founded by the legendary `Hey Jude` hitmakers.

He said: "Liam will have a part in it. He`s all over it. It`s about the mad chaos of Apple, so it`s not dissimilar to `24 Hour Party People`. I`ve met him a few times. He seems like a nice guy."

It is not clear what role Liam - whose company In 1 Production will be co-producing the film - is to take in the movie.

`Peep Show` creator Jesse Armstrong has written the script, and Liam has previously revealed he would like `Pirates of the Caribbean` actor Johnny Depp to take on the role of Derek Taylor, The Beatles` publicist.

He said: "Derek Taylor was a dude. He`s up there with Lennon.

"The film script is done. It`s gonna blow people`s minds, man. I`m just waiting to find out when we choose the actors.

"I want Johnny Depp to play Derek Taylor. It`s got Johnny Depp written all over it, man."
