Actors Paul Mescal, Harris Dickinson, Joseph Quinn and Barry Keoghan recreated The Beatles' historic 1964 Liverpool homecoming on Saturday for an upcoming biopic about the band.
The four stars gathered in Merseyside to film scenes depicting the Fab Four returning to their hometown for the northern premiere of their musical comedy film A Hard Day's Night.
The original milestone event took place on July 10, 1964, when more than 3,000 fans gathered at Liverpool Speke Airport to welcome the group back to the city.
The band was then driven to Liverpool Town Hall for a formal civic reception hosted by the Lord Mayor.
Liverpool Homecoming Recreated
Following the civic reception, the Beatles stepped onto the front balcony of Liverpool Town Hall to greet an estimated 200,000 fans who packed the surrounding streets.
Crowds filled Castle Street and stretched all the way back to the Odeon cinema, where the film was screened later that evening.
Dressed in matching black suits and ties on set, the four actors bore a striking resemblance to the original band members.
In the upcoming film project, Harris Dickinson portrays John Lennon, while Paul Mescal transforms into Paul McCartney.
Stranger Things actor Joseph Quinn plays lead guitarist George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan portrays Ringo Starr.
Beatlemania on Set
Production crews transformed the Liverpool streets to capture the height of Beatlemania.
Extras were positioned on the balconies of surrounding buildings, with one fan extra wearing a top that read: 'Paul you're gorgeous.'
A large banner displayed the message 'Welcome home The Beatles' above the crowded street scenes.
A line of police forced the crowd back as cameras rolled to recreate the iconic Beatlemania scenes.
Actor Daniel Hoffmann-Gill was also spotted on set in the role of Mal Evans, the main roadie for The Beatles.
Evans originally worked as a bouncer at the Cavern Club in Liverpool before manager Brian Epstein hired him to assist the group.
He became an indispensable member of the inner circle, attending every Beatles tour and nearly all of their recording sessions.
Set dressing also featured a replica of John Lennon's famous psychedelic Rolls-Royce Phantom V.
Lennon originally purchased the luxury vehicle in black before having it completely repainted in 1967.
The custom design featured a bright yellow finish adorned with elaborate red, blue, green and gold patterns inspired by Romani decorative motifs.
Four Feature Biopics
The ambitious cinematic project is directed by Sam Mendes and comprises four separate biopics, each focusing on a single band member.
All four feature films are set for simultaneous release next year.
The storyline covers pivotal moments in the band's history, including the release of A Hard Day's Night.
The 1964 film was accompanied by a chart-topping studio album and hit single of the same name.
Abbey Road Recreation
Saturday's shoot in Liverpool follows production work last month in London, where the four lead actors recreated the famous album cover for Abbey Road.
The cast was seen walking across the iconic zebra crossing in north London.
Director Sam Mendes had originally planned to film on location at Abbey Road, though reports at the time suggested Westminster Council would not grant permission.
Westminster Council later confirmed to the Daily Mail that filming was permitted and that officials worked closely with production teams to facilitate the shoot.
The original album cover was photographed in 1969 by Scottish photographer Iain Macmillan, a close friend of John Lennon.
Macmillan balanced precariously on a ladder in the middle of the street and had just ten minutes to capture the shot while the band walked back and forth across the zebra crossing.
Abbey Road was the penultimate album released by The Beatles.
Although Let It Be was the final album released by the group, much of its material had been recorded prior to the Abbey Road sessions.
