The film, which will be shot later this year and released in cinema's next year (08), will be produced by Harrison's widow Olivia and feature the guitarist's former bandmates Sir Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, according to Variety.

It will take a documentary format and explore Harrison's faith and music, as well as his movie projects.

Scorsese - who has made documentaries about Bob Dylan and the Rolling Stones - says of the project, "(Harrison's) music and his search for spiritual meaning is a story that still resonates today. I'm looking forward to delving deeper.

Olivia Harrison says, "It would have given George great joy to know that Martin Scorsese has agreed to tell his story. "

George Harrison died in 2001 at the age of 58, after losing a battle with lung cancer.
