On a recent outing at the iconic Abbey Road crossing, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, Barry Keoghan, and Harris Dickinson were spotted recreating one of the most famous album covers in music history. This scene was part of the production for Sam Mendes’ highly anticipated biopic series titled “The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event,” set to explore the legendary band’s story from each member’s perspective.
The Four-Part Cinematic Journey
Scheduled for an April 2028 release by Sony Pictures, this innovative project marks a historic first: it carries the official endorsement of The Beatles and their estates, granting rights to both their life stories and music for theatrical presentation. Mendes aims to deliver a comprehensive look at the band, with each film focusing on a different member.
Main Cast and Characters
In a creative casting choice, Paul Mescal will portray Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson takes on the role of John Lennon, Joseph Quinn will play George Harrison, and Barry Keoghan embodies Ringo Starr. The ensemble cast also features notable names such as Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, and Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, among others.
Project Highlights and Production Timeline
The film’s official logline captures its essence: “Each man has his own story, but together they are legendary.” At CinemaCon 2025, director Mendes referred to the project as the “first binge-able theatrical experience.” While details on the release format remain uncertain, it has been noted that principal photography will span approximately one year, promising an extensive commitment to the storytelling process.
With high expectations for both its narrative depth and visual splendor, Mendes’ Beatles biopic is shaping up to be an unparalleled tribute to one of the most influential bands in music history.
