4 films for the Beatles! It’s a crazy bet announced earlier this year to immortalize a famous pop group. Goal: One film for each member of the quartet, with a deadline of 2027 for all four films! At the helm of the project will be a great director, English filmmaker Sam Mendes, to whom we owe the latest James Bond films.
After this surprising announcement, it remained to be seen who would bestow their qualities on the 4 musicians. The mystery still remains, but the first rumors are starting to emerge.
site InSneider It is understood that 4 actors are currently wanted for these 4 roles. Here they are: Harris Dickinson would be John Lennon, Paul Mescall would be Paul McCartney, Charlie Rowe would be George Harrison, and finally Barry Keoghan would be Ringo Starr. Casting that will therefore focus on a new generation, starting with Paul Mescal, who is most notably seen in Aftersun.
For reference, the premise of the project will be to tell the story of the quartet, before their breakup in 1970, focusing in turn on John Lennon, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison. The four films will hit theaters in 2027, with the strategy pitched as “innovative.”
