What you need to know:
Wait, because each member of The Beatles has four biographical films coming up. Here we tell you the first details.
If there’s one thing we’re clear about, it’s that the era of biopics in Hollywood is here to stay. We’ve been seeing films about important personalities in music history on the big screen for some time now. However, It’s finally time to see the life and work of the most important and influential band of all time in the cinema: The Beatles.
Tapes about the Fab Four are not newsince they themselves took part in productions like when they were still together The night of a hard day, help! And Magical Mystery TourThey also ventured into animation Yellow submarine and we’ve even seen them in documentaries let it be or recently, come back by Peter Jackson on Disney+.
However, We have never seen a film that, as such, tells us the story of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison and Ringo Starr. The closest we come to this is with ribbons Nowhere boy with Aaron Taylor Johnson, In His Life: The John Lennon Story either Chapter 27 Starring Jared Leto and focusing on Mark David Champan, the “fan” who murdered Lennon.
Four films will be released about the life and work of each member of the Beatles
But now that I probably see the potential and success of biographical films today, the entertainment industry –but especially Paul, Ringo and the families of Lennon and Harrison– Eventually he decided to tell the story of each member of the Beatles on the big screen.. And to be honest, it’s an ambitious and massive project they have in their hands.
In accordance with deadline, Sony Pictures Entertainment, the Oscar-winning filmmaker for American beautySam Mendes (along with his company Neal Street Productions) and Apple Corps have teamed up to make four individual films about each member of the Liverpool quartet…just like you read it.
Mendes will direct each of the filmsSince then, it has been a truly historic event in the film and music industry It is the first time that Apple Corps and the Beatles – Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and the widows of John Lennon and George Harrison – gave up all rights to life and music to bring their stories to the big screen.
According to the same source Sam Mendes is the brains behind this entire project (because he managed to convince Paul, Ringo, Sean Lennon and Olivia Harrison to put his plan into action), which will tell interconnected stories from the perspective of each member of the Fab Four.
Possible release date and plot of the Fab Four films
This is what is known so far The Beatles’ biographies show us John, Paul, George and Ringo from coming of age to becoming global pop stars to innovative and avant-garde artists who became legends. That’s what the individual volumes are more or less about.
Another thing that excites us is this Sam Mendes will have the freedom to explore the lives of each and every Beatles, without Ringo Starr, Paul McCartney and the families of George Harrison and John Lennon hiding anything or trying to tell a particular “authorized” version of their rise to fame. So this is absolutely very interesting.
Currently, The Beatles biopics are expected to hit cinemas worldwide in 2027. However, there is no official release date yet and not much smaller cast either. But now comes the million-dollar question: Which actors would you like to play the Fab Four in these films? Form teams of four and discuss…
