US EditionStars announced for upcoming Beatles biopics, directed by Sam Mendes
- Sony Pictures announced on April 1, 2025, at CinemaCon in Las Vegas that Sir Sam Mendes will direct four new biopics about The Beatles, with each film focusing on a different band member.
- The Beatles' story was deemed too vast for a single film or TV mini-series, leading to the decision to create a quadrilogy.
- Paul Mescal will portray Sir Paul McCartney, Barry Keoghan will portray Ringo Starr, Harris Dickinson will portray John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn will portray George Harrison, marking the first time the band and their families have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.
- Sir Sam Mendes called the films the "first binge-able theatrical experience," and Sony Pictures anticipates dominating culture upon their release.
- The four films are scheduled for release in April 2028, and some fans have already expressed concerns about the casting choices and the long wait until the release date.
