The films will also feature Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, James Norton as Brian Epstein, and Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono. Additional cast members include Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, and Harry Lloyd as producer George Martin.
Sam Mendes is directing all four films. Each film will portray events from the viewpoint of one Beatle. The complete project is scheduled to release in theatres on April 7, 2028.
When the project was initially 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.
