The expansive Beatles biopic is reportedly picking its leading men to embody music pioneers Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Sam Mendes will make four separate films, showing each member's perspective on the rise and fall of the band. A press release from earlier this year stated the films will intersect to “tell the astonishing story of the greatest band in history." Mendes apparently received the official OK from McCartney, Starr and the families of Lennon and Harrison to tell the lives of each band member. This also includes the music rights for the scripted films.
