The Beatles are set to have their incredible story told in a groundbreaking way, with a series of four biopic films focusing on each band member individually. The iconic rock group, consisting of Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, will each get their own spotlight in these highly anticipated movies, all of which will be directed by the talented filmmaker, Sam Mendes.
This unprecedented project will see the Beatles granting full life and music rights for the first time, making it a milestone in music biopic history. Sony Pictures has announced a deal with the band’s Apple Corps. Ltd. to bring these films to life, with a target release year of 2027.
The films, conceptualized by Mendes, are expected to be released in a unique and innovative way, potentially coexisting or intersecting in theaters to create an immersive viewing experience. McCartney, Starr, and the families of Lennon and Harrison have all given their approval for the project.
Mendes expressed his excitement about helming this ambitious project, stating, I’m honored to be telling the story of the greatest rock band of all time, and excited to challenge the notion of what constitutes a trip to the movies. Each film will offer a different perspective on the Beatles’ journey, aiming to create a thrilling and epic cinematic experience.
The Beatles have previously been the subject of documentaries and films, but this new biopic series promises to delve deep into the lives and music of each band member like never before. With music biopics enjoying immense popularity in recent years, including hits like Bohemian Rhapsody and Rocketman, the Fab Four of Beatles biopics are sure to captivate audiences worldwide.
Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking project as it unfolds, and prepare to experience the magic of the Beatles like never before on the big screen.
