What were John Lennon's last words to the world before his fatal encounter with a crazed gunman on a New York City street?

Director Steven Soderbergh knows and he'll let you hear them when a new documentary on the late Beatle superstar gets released sometime next year. 

"Lennon’s final in-depth interview took place alongside Yoko on Dec. 8, 1980. He had just turned 40 and emerged from a five-year hiatus from the music industry to care for his son, Sean. It was the only radio interview granted around the release of their album, “Double Fantasy.”

That afternoon, they met a team from RKO Radio at the Dakota, their New York City apartment building and held a wide-ranging conversation. 

Twelve hours later Lennon was dead — gunned down outside the Dakota by Mark David Chapman..

Soderbergh claims what Lennon had to say is, if anything, more relevant to the world now than it was then.
