Fri Apr 04 11:40:00 UTC 2025: ## Beatles Biopic: Four Films, Four Stars, One Epic Story Coming in 2028
**Las Vegas, NV** – Director Sam Mendes announced at CinemaCon 2025 a groundbreaking cinematic event: four separate films chronicling the lives of each Beatle. Scheduled for release in April 2028, *The Beatles: A Four-Film Cinematic Event* will star Paul Mescal as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon, Barry Keoghan as Ringo Starr, and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison.
Mendes explained that the band’s story was too vast for a single film or television series. Sony Pictures, in collaboration with Apple Records and the surviving Beatles, Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr, is backing the project, which marks the first time the band’s story has been granted such extensive big-screen treatment. Starr himself expressed excitement about the project, hinting at a collaborative narrative spanning the band’s history.
The casting announcement, featuring the actors dressed in black and reciting from *Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band*, was met with a mix of anticipation and criticism. While many celebrated the high-profile cast, concerns were raised about the absence of Merseyside actors portraying the Liverpool band. Further debate has centered around the actors’ ages and physiques. Despite the initial backlash, Mendes emphasized that the films aim to offer a fresh perspective on the band’s legacy for a new generation.
