Movie endeavor revolving around the Beatles - This headline can be rephrased as: "These celestial bodies are expected to create the Fab Four."
The Iconic music group, The Beatles, founded in 1960, is yet to see a cinematic rendition of their magnificent journey. With iconic figures like John Lennon (1940-1980), George Harrison (1943-2001), Paul McCartney (81), and Ringo Starr (83), it's no wonder they've achieved legendary status. Rumors suggest that Oscar-winning director, Sam Mendes (58), is working on a multi-part film series, aiming to encapsulate their masterful performances.
As per recent news, Paul Mescal (28) has been reportedly cast as Paul McCartney. With an Oscar nomination under his belt for "Aftersun", Mescal's involvement in the project seems fitting. Fans of the Irish actor will recall his recent scene-stealing performance in the upcoming "Gladiator" sequel.
Likewise, Harris Dickinson (27) is said to be playing the late John Lennon. A veteran of social satires such as "Triangle of Sadness" and wrestling dramas like "The Iron Claw", Dickinson seems primed to nail the role.
There's buzz regarding Charlie Rowe (28), likely to portray George Harrison who passed away in 2001 due to a long-term illness. He's previously known for his roles in "Neverland" and "Everything We Lost".
The casting for drummer Ringo Starr is still uncertain. Although unconfirmed, Barry Keoghan (31) has been mentioned as a potential addition to the project. His recent roles in the critically acclaimed "The Banshees of Inisherin" and 'Joker' (Batman's nemesis in 2022) could make him an interesting contender.
Though there's no official confirmation, the ambitious project itself has garnered significant interest. Known for his masterful direction in "1917", Sam Mendes is rumored to create separate films dedicated to each member of the Fab Four. Beatles' enthusiasts can look forward to a total of four cinematic tributes.
The production of this ambitious project is supposed to commence in 2025, with all four films set to release by 2027. The order of the Beatles' tributes has not been disclosed yet. It's unclear whether we'll witness their lives in chronological order or if a more creative approach will be employed. For now, we await official confirmation and casting news for Ringo Starr.
