Summary
The director Sam Mendes has announced a series of four films on the Beatles, focusing on each member of the band. The films, with the release in 2028 and the rights granted by Apple Corps, will have a renowned cast, but have already generated criticism on the lack of similarity between the actors and musicians.
The famous British director Sam Mendes has announced the production of a series of four biographical films on the Beatles, each focused on one of the members of the iconic band of Liverpool. The actors have chosen to give life to the “Fab Four” are:
John Lennon: Harris Dickinson, a 27 -year -old British actor, known for his roles in “A place away from here” (2022) and “Iron Garra” (2024).
Paul McCartney: Paul Mescal, 28 -year -old Irish actor, appointed for Oscar for “Aftersun” (2022) and protagonist of “Gladiator II”.
Ringo Starr: Barry Keoghan, a 31 -year -old Irish actor, recognized for his works in “The Banshees of Inisherin” (2022) and “Saltburn” (2023).
George Harrison: Joseph Quinn, a 30 -year -old British actor, known for his performance in “Stranger Things” and “Gladiator II”.
The first reactions to this news were not so good. On Sony Pictures’ social networks, thousands of fan pay attention to the fact that none of them are similar to the Beatles.
The project, entitled “The Beatles -four -film Cinematic Event”, was announced by Mendes during the Las Vegas cinema and is expected for the release in April 2028. Each film will explore the individual perspective of one of the members of the band, offering a vision in -explosion of their lives and their musical contributions, while highlighting the Beatles Collective Legacy.
This company has scored the first time that Apple Corps and Beatles themselves, represented by Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, grant full rights to their life stories and music production. Sony Pictures will finance and distribute the films, which will be released simultaneously in cinemas, trying to create an innovative and engaging film experience for the public.
With a cast of stars and the direction of Sam Mendes, this series of films should offer a new and profound understanding of the Beatles, celebrating its lasting influence on world music and culture.
