Major Beatles alert — Sam Mendes will direct four different movies from each band member’s perspective … and all of them are apparently supposed to come out the same year.
The famed filmmaker was announced as being hired to helm what can only be called a massive undertaking in the movie biz — namely, making four feature-length films … with each one focused on a different Beatle, including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, John Lennon and George Harrison.

Sony is the studio getting behind this — they’ll finance and distribute these flicks — and not just that … but the two living Beatles and the families of the late members are all on board.
All 4 members/their estates have given Sam and Sony the life and music rights for the respective scripted films — and what he says he’ll do is intertwine all their stories in an intricate web of storytelling to bring the band’s full legendary history to life on the big screen.

The craziest part … Sam and co. plan on releasing all 4 films in 2027, which is crazy.
BTW, a multimedia company the Beatles started way back when — Apple Corps Limited — is going to be a partner in producing these … so yeah, everyone’s coming together for this.

It goes without saying … this will be the first time the Beatles, at large, are depicted in a film as a unit that wasn’t a doc. In other words — the definitive Beatles biopic(s) has arrived.
