Nick is bringing Beatles classics such as Help!, A Hard Day’s Night, We Can Work It Out and Revolution to the tween set via the cast of Big Time Rush in the network’s original TV movie, Big Time Movie.
The movie will also feature music from Big Time Rush’s soon-to-be released sophomore album, Elevate.
