The cast of Sam Mendes' four Beatles biopics has been announced, featuring notable actors such as Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Barry Keoghan, and Joseph Quinn. Mendes, renowned for films like American Beauty and 1917, presented this project at CinemaCon, emphasizing the depth of storytelling that each member's story will bring. He noted the significance of the Beatles in culture, insisting that their story warrants multiple films to explore fully. The project has received endorsements from surviving members Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, along with the families of John Lennon and George Harrison, marking a historic collaboration in storytelling.
We're not just making one film about the Beatles, we're making four, Mendes said. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.
Mendes had been trying to make a film about the Beatles for years, but I finally gave up, the story was too big for one film and he didn't want to make a television series.
Mendes' project has the blessing of McCartney and Starr, and of the families of John Lennon and George Harrison.
He can assure you there is still plenty left to explore and I think we found a way to do that.
