Fans Can’t Believe Four Beatles Biopics Are Coming in 2028
Get ready to clutch your pearls and grab your popcorn, because director Sam Mendes has just dropped the most ambitious cinematic bombshell since… well, ever! Picture this: four separate films dedicated to each of the beloved Beatles, all set to hit theaters in April 2028. Isn’t that just the kind of extravaganza our hearts never knew they needed? Mendes, fresh off a string of impressive projects, took the stage at CinemaCon in Las Vegas to unveil this audacious plan, revealing the cast that will embody the Fab Four. Paul Mescal will strut his stuff as Paul McCartney, Harris Dickinson will channel his inner John Lennon, Joseph Quinn is set to bring George Harrison to life, and Barry Keoghan will don the persona of Ringo Starr. Each film promises a deep dive into the life of its respective Beatle, giving fans a chance to explore the legends beyond the music. Mendes himself waxed poetic about the project, stating, “We’re not just making one film about the Beatles — we’re making four. Perhaps this is a chance to understand them a little more deeply.”
And how’s this for a mic-drop moment? Sony film boss Tom Rothman has dubbed these projects “the first binge-able theatrical experience.” Because why limit yourself to just one serving of Beatles magic when you can have a whole buffet? The excitement reached a fever pitch as the cast recited lyrics from “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” before taking a synchronized bow, leaving the audience in sheer disbelief. It’s almost as if Mendes and company decided that a traditional movie release strategy was far too pedestrian for something as iconic as the Beatles.
With the Beatles being the biggest-selling music act of all time, per the RIAA, Sony is clearly banking on this devoted fan base to flock to theaters. Mendes, alongside producers Pippa Harris and Julie Pastor, is betting big on this unprecedented venture. Who wouldn’t want to see the behind-the-scenes drama and triumphs of these musical titans unfold on the big screen?
So, mark your calendars and brace yourselves for a cinematic experience that promises to leave us all a little more enlightened about the legends we thought we knew. The only question left is, will we need to bring tissues for the tears of nostalgia?
