""After the interview, I said to her, 'Are you impressed I never mentioned Paul?' and she said 'Yeah'," said Fanning. "It was really funny as at one stage, we were walking down the road and she said, 'He's freaking out at the moment.' When I asked why, she said he has to learn not just to play the bass guitar, but to play it upside down because he's right-handed and Paul (McCartney) had a left-handed one. So he's really trying to learn it.""
""It is either going to be amazing or it will be what Sam Mendes is capable of doing, which is believing in his own ego. Four full movies by 2028 is a lot," he said. "Obviously, they will have to interlock a bit. I just don't see how that's going to work but anything to do with the Beatles is fine by me.""
The Fanning at Whelan's series will feature guests including Finneas, Nell Mescal and Damien Lewis. Nell Mescal revealed that her brother Paul Mescal is struggling to adapt to playing Paul McCartney’s left-handed bass by reversing and learning to play it upside down. The Beatles biopic project has secured full life story and music rights from The Beatles, Apple Corps Ltd and families of John Lennon and George Harrison. Each of four films will focus on a different band member, with Saoirse Ronan cast as Linda McCartney. Broadcaster Fanning expressed skepticism about how four interlocking films by 2028 will work, while remaining a devoted Beatles fan.
