Sam Mendes is directing all four films. Each movie will depict events from the perspective of one Beatle. The full project is set to release in theatres on April 7, 2028.
When the project was first announced, Sam said he felt “honoured” to tell the story of one of the greatest bands in music history and wanted to bring something new to the big-screen experience. “I’m honoured 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,” he had said in a statement, as reported by Variety.
The films are written by Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan, and Jack Thorne. The project is backed by Sony Pictures Entertainment, along with Sam Mendes’ Neal Street Productions, in association with Apple Corps.
