Sam Mendes Announces Beatles Biopics With Star-Studded Cast

Sony Pictures has announced an ambitious project to release four biopic films about The Beatles, directed by Sam Mendes, with all films set to premiere in April 2028. Each film will focus on a different band member, with Paul Mescal playing Paul McCartney, Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Barry Keoghan portraying Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson taking on the role of John Lennon. Mendes emphasized that this unique approach allows for a deeper understanding of each member's perspective, comparing the experience to binge-watching a series. This project marks the first time filmmakers have full access to The Beatles' extensive music catalog, enhancing the films' potential appeal. While there has been mixed public reception regarding the casting choices, many fans are excited about the opportunity to see a comprehensive portrayal of the iconic band. Mendes previously stated he had been trying to bring their story to the screen for years, indicating the significance of this undertaking.
