Acclaimed director Sam Mendes is indeed planning to make 4 theatrical feature films about The Beatles, each one focusing on a different member of the band and their perspective on the story. This ambitious project is currently in development with Sony Pictures Entertainment and has garnered significant attention in the music and film world.
Here are some additional details you might be interested in:
Each film will be an account, will offer unique insights into the lives and experiences of John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr.
The films will be based on original interviews.
The project has the full support and cooperation of Apple Corps Ltd., the Beatles’ multimedia company, which has granted full life story and music rights for the films.
The release date for the films is currently unknown, but it’s expected to be sometime in 2027.
“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,” said Mendes.
Mendes will direct alongside Neal Street Productions partner Pippa Harris and Neal Street’s Julie Pastor. Jeff Jones will executive produce for Apple Corps Ltd.
“We intend this to be a uniquely thrilling, and epic cinematic experience: four films, told from four different perspectives which tell a single story about the most celebrated band of all time,” said Pippa Harris.
“To have The Beatles’ and Apple Corps’ blessing to do this is an immense privilege. From our first meeting with Tom Rothman and Elizabeth Gabler, it was clear that they shared both our passion and ambition for this project, and we can’t think of a more perfect home than Sony Pictures.”
Apple Corps Ltd. CEO Jeff Jones added:
“Apple Corps is delighted to collaborate with Sam, Pippa and Julie to explore each Beatle’s unique story and to bring them together in a suitably captivating and innovative way.
“Sony Pictures’ enthusiastic support, championing the project’s scope and creative vision from the start, has been invaluable for all of us.”
Neal Street Productions is one by All3Media and run by Mendes, Harris, Caro Newling, and Nicolas Brown. Its behind productions including 1917, Revolutionary Road, Empire of Light and Call the Midwife.
“I know I speak for our CEO Tony Vinciquerra, who was instrumental in making this happen, and every Sony Pictures Motion Picture Group colleague around the world when I say: ‘yeah, yeah, yeah!’” said Tom Rothman, Chairman and CEO of Sony Pictures’ Motion Picture Group.
“Theatrical movie events today must be culturally seismic. Sam’s daring, large-scale idea is that and then some. Pairing his premiere filmmaking team, with the music and the stories of four young men who changed the world, will rock audiences all over the globe. We are deeply grateful to all parties and look forward ourselves to breaking some rules with Sam’s uniquely artistic vision.”
