Untitled Bruce Lee Biopic

The Beatles – A Four-Film Cinematic Event is an upcoming series of four biographical films based on the lives and career of the Beatles. Each film is being directed by Sam Mendes and written by Jez Butterworth, Peter Straughan and Jack Thorne. Produced by Columbia Pictures in association with Neal Street Productions, and Apple Corps, all four films are to be released simultaneously on April 7, 2028. Each one is set to be told from the perspective of one band member: John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr, who will be played by Harris Dickinson, Paul Mescal, Joseph Quinn, and Barry Keoghan, respectively. Mendes had conceived the idea of films about the Beatles in 2022. Beginning in late 2023, he discussed the plans with Sony Pictures, and convinced each of the band members and the estates. By February 2024, Sony Pictures and Neal Street Productions finished a deal to produce four distinct films. By March 2025, Dickinson, Mescal, Quinn, and Keoghan were confirmed to play the main roles. Production had begun by November 2025, with further casting announced in February 2026.
