Creating a movie about real individuals, particularly iconic figures like the Beatles, presents significant challenges. Actors often face scrutiny over their portrayal of the subjects, with fans critiquing looks, accents, and the depth of storytelling. Director Sam Mendes is collaborating closely with Ringo Starr on a four-part Beatles film project, allowing Starr to review and provide feedback on the script. This process aims to depict Starr's true experiences, reflecting the importance of accuracy, especially when working with living legends whose endorsement is paramount for a film's success.
He had a writer - very good writer, great reputation, and he wrote it great, but it had nothing to do with Maureen and I.'
Ringo Starr spent two days with Sam Mendes, going over the script line by line, offering extensive notes to ensure accurate representation.
The stakes are high when portraying iconic artists like the Beatles; their endorsement is crucial for box office success and music rights.
Starr expressed skepticism about Mendes's plan to film all four movies simultaneously, saying, 'he'll do what he's doing, and I'll send him peace and love.'
