With two James Bond films under his belt, director Sam Mendes now shifts focus to another iconic British entity – the Beatles. With a significant announcement recently made, here’s what we currently understand about Sam Mendes’ upcoming Beatles film.
- There will be four film focussing on each of the band individually
- All four films will be released theatrically in April 2028.
- Paul Mescal is playing Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn will portray George Harrison, Barry Keoghan will star as Ringo Starr and Harris Dickinson will put his spin on John Lennon.
- The official logline is “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.”
- The project is officially titled “The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event,”
- It’s described as the “first binge-able theatrical experience.” but whether that means the movies will be released all at once or one per week over the course of a month is unknown
- Mendes didn’t want to make a mini-series and he worried that “the story was too huge to fit into a single movie.” So it was him who came up with the idea to tell the story of “the greatest band in history” from the perspective of each of its members, to try to capture their improbable journey from Liverpool to the center of global culture.
- The film is also the first narrative feature to be granted music rights to the Beatles’ extensive catalog of hits that includes….well where do we even start?
- Principal photography on the four films will take a year and Tom Rothman, the Sony Pictures chief who oversaw production 3D James Cameron sci-fi epic back when he was at Fox, joked that the four-part epic from Mendes was giving him “‘Avatar’ flashbacks.”
