The Beatles on the big screen: four never-before-seen biopics in the works
For the first time, the Beatles’ legendary story is told in four biographical films, each dedicated to a member of the legendary band.
A unique dive into the world of the Beatles
The biopics, directed by award-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes(Skyfall, American Beauty), promise to trace the lives of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr from a fresh perspective. Each film will adopt the individual point of view of one of the musicians, allowing an intimate exploration of their journey, from their modest childhood in Liverpool to iconic moments such as their appearance on the Ed Sullivan Show or the London rooftop concert.
A promising cast
While the details are still partly secret, a few clues are emerging. Barry Keoghan, known for his talent, could play Ringo Starr, while Paul Mescal is being considered for the role of McCartney. Harris Dickinson and Charlie Rowe are being considered as Lennon and Harrison respectively. These choices suggest a richly nuanced performance, worthy of the Beatles’ complexity.
The trust of the group’s heirs
Getting permission to use the Beatles’ original music in a scripted project is a first. The green light, granted by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Sean Lennon and Olivia Harrison, is a testament to their confidence in Sam Mendes. He will have carte blanche to explore the lives of the members without narrative constraints, guaranteeing an authentic and artistic vision.
An ambitious release scheduled for 2027
Sony Pictures plans to release all four films simultaneously, a bold strategy to captivate Beatles fans and moviegoers alike. Filming will begin in 2025, giving the teams time to prepare a cinematic epic worthy of the Beatles’ legacy.
By blending the artistic genius of Sam Mendes with the timeless story of history’s greatest band, these biopics promise to deliver an immersive, never-before-seen experience. Join us in 2027 to relive the epic story of the Fab Four.
