John, Paul, George and Ringo will each be the subject of a different upcoming feature film.

Director Sam Mendes plans to make four separate movies, one from each Beatles member’s point of view. They will intersect to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history,” leading up to their 1970 breakup, according to a press release.

Sony Pictures Entertainment will finance and distribute all four films theatrically in 2027. Details about release plans will be shared later, but the studio promises the strategy will be “innovative and groundbreaking.”

As a former drummer, this is 100000% accurate.

This would probably work better as a streaming series like The Crown. You could similarly stunt recast every season as they age.

A movie? about a artist(s)? Where do they get these original ideas from?!?
