Overview

  • Director Sam Mendes announced that his four Beatles biopics will release simultaneously in April 2028, creating what he calls the first 'bingeable moment in cinema.'
  • The confirmed cast includes Joseph Quinn as George Harrison, Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Harris Dickinson as John Lennon.
  • Mendes explained that the Beatles' story was too expansive for a single film or TV series, leading to his decision to create four interconnected movies.

  • Production is set to begin soon, with Mendes estimating over a year of filming to complete this ambitious and culturally significant endeavor.
