Las Vegas, Nevada – A star-studded cast has been announced for four upcoming major films about the legendary band, The Beatles. The announcement was made by Oscar-winning director Sir Sam Mendes, who introduced the cast at CinemaCon in Las Vegas on Monday.
The films will focus on each of the four members of The Beatles, telling the story of the iconic band from their unique perspectives. Paul Mescal, known for his roles in “Normal People” and “Gladiator II,” will portray Sir Paul McCartney, while Barry Keoghan will step into the role of Ringo Starr. Harris Dickinson will play John Lennon, and Joseph Quinn will depict George Harrison.
Sir Sam Mendes explained that the story of The Beatles was too vast to be contained in a single film, leading to the decision to create four separate films to delve deeper into the lives of each member. The films are set to be released in April 2028, and promise to provide a comprehensive look at the greatest band in history.
The cast members, including Mescal, Keoghan, Dickinson, and Quinn, are all rising stars in the entertainment industry, with diverse backgrounds in film and television. Their casting in these highly anticipated films has generated significant buzz among fans of The Beatles and movie enthusiasts alike.
The Beatles, formed in 1960, revolutionized the music industry and left an indelible mark on pop culture. Despite their breakup in 1970, the band’s influence continues to resonate today, making them one of the biggest-selling groups of all time.
This project marks the first time that all four members of The Beatles and their estates have granted full life story and music rights for a scripted film. The upcoming films are expected to provide a fresh perspective on the band’s journey and impact on the world of music.
As fans eagerly await the release of the films in 2028, the anticipation continues to build for what promises to be an unforgettable cinematic experience. The legacy of The Beatles lives on through their timeless music and the upcoming portrayal of their story on the silver screen.
