Director Sam Mendes has ambitious plans for Beatles biopics—four movies about each Beatle, each to be released in 2027.
The American Beauty and 1917 director is working closely with Sony and the Beatles’ Apple Corps movies. This is the first time ever that The Beatles and their Apple Corps. company has granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film.
Rumor has it that Mendes has cast all four Beatles.
Paul Mescal will reportedly play Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson, the young British actor who recently appeared in Triangle Of Sadness and The Iron Claw, will play John Lennon, Charlie Rowe, who played music publisher Ray Williams in the Elton John biopic Rocketman, has been tapped to play George Harrison, and lastly, hot off Saltburn, Barry Keoghan will play Ringo Starr.
Interesting casting.
