An expansive four-part biopic film series on each of the Beatles members Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr was announced on Tuesday.
The Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes and his production company are planning on creating separate films from each member’s perspective on the rise and fall of the band. According to a press release, the films will intersect to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history.”
This will have been the first time that McCartney, Starr and the families of Lennon and Harrison have all granted the rights to a filmmaker to tell the life of each band member, which includes the music rights for the scripted films.
Sony Pictures Entertainment will distribute the films in 2027.
